Who We Are
EAFA is a team of educators, coaches, and leaders united by a single mission: giving every child, regardless of background, the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead.
We operate as a U.S.-based nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status, and as an international NGO, allowing us to build partnerships and deliver impact across borders.
Our Board of Directors provides oversight and strategic guidance, ensuring transparency and strong governance, while the Founder & Executive Director leads the vision, program design, and partnerships that drive our work forward
EAFA integrates academics, athletics, and leadership development into one seamless model, equipping every student with the tools to thrive in school, sport, and life.
Academic Program
We follow the Cambridge curriculum, globally recognized for fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning.
We begin with Kindergarten + 1st Grade, adding one grade each year until Grade 12 to ensure quality and consistency.
Football & Athletic Training
Our football program builds:
Technical skill
Game intelligence
Character, discipline, and teamwork
Training is structured, intentional, and designed to develop excellence on and off the pitch.
Leadership & Life Skills
Through mentorship, service, and workshops, students learn communication, self-discipline, teamwork, empathy, and more — shaping them into strong leaders.
Boarding & Campus Life
Boarding begins in Grade 9. Students live in a supportive residential environment with study halls, mentorship, extended training, and academic support — building independence and leadership.

EAFA was founded by Dr. Emmanuel Luvert, Executive Director, and guided by a Board of Directors in education, coaching, business, and nonprofit leadership
Yes. EAFA operates as a U.S. nonprofit (501(c)(3) and an international NGO.
EAFA is governed by a Board of Directors and led by the Founder & Executive Director. We have established bylaws, financial policies, and evaluation systems.
We begin by serving children ages 5 and 6, which correspond to Kindergarten and 1st Grade in the United States. Starting in 2026, we will add one grade level each year as the academy grows.
This means that each year, a new incoming class of young students will join, while current students advance to the next grade level. Over time, this model allows us to grow intentionally—building a full K–12 program year by year, while maintaining high-quality instruction, strong relationships, and the resources needed to support every student’s development.
Enrollment dates are TBD while we finalize locations and compliance.
