EDUCATION FIRST ACADEMY

The Education First Academy Community Hub serves as a bridge between the school, families, and the broader community by providing opportunities for collaboration, learning, and service. The hub supports community engagement through educational programs, parent partnerships, student leadership initiatives, outreach activities, and resources that promote lifelong learning and community development.

Student Leadership

School Calendar

The EFA School Calendar provides important information about academic schedules, holidays, school events, examinations, activities, and community programs. It helps students, families, and staff stay informed and engaged throughout the school year.

Community Partnerships

At Education First, we believe that strong partnerships create stronger opportunities for our students. Through our collaboration with healthcare professionals from J. J. Dossen Memorial Hospital, students
receive regular health screenings and wellness assessments that promote early detection and preventive care. Most recently, the medical team conducted comprehensive cardiac screenings in response to the increasing incidence of heart-related conditions among children and adolescents. These partnerships help ensure that our students are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.

We are also proud to partner with Waves for Change, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the mental well-being of young people growing up in high-stress environments. Through its
innovative, evidence-based Surf Therapy program—developed in collaboration with the adolescents it serves—our students gain access to activities and support that build emotional resilience, strengthen self-confidence, and promote positive mental health. This partnership reflects our commitment to nurturing the whole child by supporting both academic success and social-emotional well-being.
