Education First Academy (EFA) is a Pre-K –12 school in Harper, Maryland County, Liberia, established by Education First, Inc. (EFI), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the United States and Liberia. Guided by the belief that every child deserves access to a quality education, EFA is committed to nurturing learners, empowering communities, and preparing the next generation of leader.
Since opening our doors in 2012 with just 40 students in Pre-K through Grade 2, EFA has grown into a vibrant learning community serving more than 300 students from early childhood through Grade 12. This remarkable growth reflects the trust of our families, the dedication of our teachers, and our unwavering commitment to educational excellence.
At Education First Academy, learning extends beyond the classroom. We provide a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where students develop critical thinking, creativity, leadership, integrity, and a lifelong love of learning. Through engaging instruction, technology-enhanced learning, STEAM education, and strong partnerships with families and the community, we prepare students for success in higher education, meaningful careers, and responsible citizenship.
The 2025 - 2026 academic year marks a historic milestone as we celebrate the graduation of our first senior class - the realization of a vision to provide children in southeastern Liberia with a continuous, high-quality educational journey from early childhood through high school.
While our roots are in Liberia, our impact extends beyond national borders. Through Education First, Inc., we collaborate with educators, institutions, and community partners in the United States to strengthen teaching, promote cross-cultural learning, and expand educational opportunities in both countries.
Voices of our community
I like Education First Academy because of the discipline they have in place for students.
The SmartBox technology has helped me learn how to type, and I use it to practice past WASSCE examinations.
The teachers explain lessons well and make learning enjoyable.
The SmartBox opens our minds beyond what we learn in the classroom.
I appreciate the way our teachers listen to our ideas and encourage us to participate.
