Universities
Preparing the next generation of global educators.
University Partnerships Program
We collaborate with universities and learning institutions that want to prepare the next generation of global educators. Through immersive placements, training, and shared learning, our university partners experience a human-centered education model that blends academic rigor with compassion, curiosity, and community connection.
These programs not only benefit students in Costa Rica — they shape educators who bring these practices back to their home institutions and communities.
What the Program Includes
Student Teaching & Volunteer Placements
University students work alongside experienced teachers in bilingual, experiential classrooms. They gain real-world practice with project-based learning, collaboration across cultures, mindfulness routines, and leadership development for students.
Professional Development for Educators
We offer workshops and trainings that explore human-centered teaching, community integration, bilingual learning environments, student agency, and experiential curriculum design.
Research & Curriculum Collaboration
Universities partner with us to study innovative teaching practices, co-develop curriculum approaches, and explore how human skills can be strengthened in the age of AI.
Why Universities Partner With Us
University partners choose La Paz Global because we offer:
- A deeply immersive international teaching experience
- A proven, community-integrated model that blends academics with human skills
- A bilingual, multicultural learning environment
- Opportunities to collaborate on curriculum, research, and educator preparation

Students leave with a broader worldview, stronger teaching skills, and a deeper understanding of what humanized learning can look like in practice.
