DID YOU KNOW?

DoDEA schools serve eligible home school children of military families.

Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools offer eligible homeschooled children the opportunity to take one or more classes and/or to use or receive “auxiliary services”. However, homeschoolers must meet the same eligibility requirements as dependents enrolled in the DoDEA schools. Auxiliary services include the use of academic resources (including scheduled standardized tests, etc.), access to the library (information center), after-hours use of school facilities, participation in music, sports, and other extracurricular and interscholastic activities.
