Abstract: The study aims to assist learners in meeting the challenge of relevant and meaningful learning outside the traditional classroom setting. Considering the complexity of their learning demands and the intricacies of community lives, the need for Community Engagement (CE) has become increasingly urgent. Additionally, there is no study on CE among senior high school learners initiated yet within the country. It prompted the researcher to investigate the effects of CE as a learning platform on the knowledge, skill, and attitude of learners. Descriptive survey research, using a validated self-made questionnaire was utilized in public and private schools in Maasin City, Southern Leyte, Philippines. After administering the questionnaire to the respondents, central tendency measures were used for statistical data analysis. It was found that learners acquired knowledge, skill, and attitude after their CE. A few statements for each aspect highlighted the needed enhancements to improve CE as a learning modality for learners. Several recommendations for further research on CE were provided. Ultimately, this will lead to development a more contextualized and holistic learning strategy using CE.
