Profile

About AHA Learning Center

AHA Learning Center is a project of Commodore Jose S. Francisco Foundation, Inc. and is a DSWD-registered, award-winning non-profit that provides world-class education support to low-performing but high-potential public school students.

AHA Learning Center reimagines the way we see remediation classes by creating the AHA Empathy Informed Learning system (EILS), which helps left behind learners move forward by putting up community learning centers in areas with concentrated learning poverty and by providing training and support to public school teachers who work with the most challenged-students. The AHA Empathy Informed Learning System is a living, community driven intervention where parents, students, teachers, NGOs, and government workers work together in making sure that those who have the least in life get the best in education.

In the last five years alone, AHA has reached over 3 million students through partnerships with Schools Division Offices, trained over 200,000 teachers and parents, serviced over 3,000 families across 4 active community centers, and produced more than 400 hours of educational content through our radio and TV program.

AHA has been awarded locally and internationally and featured in dozens of press materials, most recently getting a shout-out by President Barack Obama, featured in the Obama Foundation, and by Bloomberg USA.
