Army Quality of Life

Schools

School options for Army Families depend on state-specific regulations, whether Families live on or off the installation, and if they choose public, private or home-schooling for their children. If Soldiers and Families live overseas, they have different schooling options that are available to them. It’s important for each Family to research what options are open to them for each location along with available Army resources to help make the best decisions for all Family members.

  • Department of Defense Educational Activities (DoDEA) Schools are committed to ensuring that school-aged children of military Families are provided a world-class education that prepares them for postsecondary education and/or career success and to be leading contributors in their communities. These schools are available on some installations within the United States and overseas.
  • School Support Services work directly with Families, educators, and military units to ensure smooth transitions and deliver resources to military-connected students and their Families.
