Abstract
Involvement in extracurricular activities has an impact on kids' academic achievement. Extracurricular activities (ECAs) have grown in importance within the educational experience for pupils, with many schools devoting substantial financial resources to them. Data regarding the background variables were gathered using a documentary analysis and questionnaire to correlate non-academic activities with academic performance. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the extracurricular activities for board programs, and at the end of the study, the researcher found out that there is no significant difference when grouped according to year level as to the factors of achieving a satisfactory grade, consuming time for study, and completing classroom work with regards to institutional activities. There is also no significant difference when grouped according to year level as to the factor of achieving a satisfactory grade with regards to school activities because students perceive that school activities somewhat help them in some aspect of their courses, while as to the factors of consuming time, studying, and completing classroom work, there is a significant difference when they are grouped according to their year level.
