Education First (EF), a world leader in international education, has recently contacted Ms. Christine Allegue, Vernon Johns French Teacher, who entered a EF contest to inform her that VJJHS has won an award of 10,000 dollars for Vernon Johns’ students to travel to Paris, France. Today, Education First representatives visited Vernon Johns JHS to provide details, dates, and timelines of the proposed trip. The goal of this initiative is to increase parental involvement and offer students an opportunity to learn about geography, foreign language, and French culture. Founded in 1965, EF offers study abroad programs, language education, educational and leisure tours, cultural exchange, and academic programs.
