Method: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the ACEJ (Active, Creative, Effective, and Joyful) approach based on audio-visual media and demonstrations in improving students' knowledge of PHBS at SD Islam Al-Faqih Sukoanyar. The research method used is a case study with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires to students in grades 3 to 5.

After the intervention was carried out, there was a significant increase in understanding, where students were more enthusiastic and actively involved in the health learning process.
Conclusion: The ACEJ method has been proven to encourage active student engagement, make learning more enjoyable, and improve their ability to internalize health messages. This study recommends the integration of the ACEJ method into the curriculum and the involvement of teachers and parents in ongoing health promotion.
