Performance First isn't an education provider — but it's part of a wider ecosystem that includes one. Sports Academy School (SAS) is an independent, Ministry-of-Education-recognised vocational school for Physical Education and Sports — a sister brand to PF, sharing the same founding team and scientific method, while operating as its own institution with its own campuses, accreditation and admissions.
PF is the performance gym. SAS is the school. Both were co-founded by Dr Georges Assaf and share the same evidence-based methodology — but each is its own legal entity with its own branding, leadership, accreditation and admissions process.
