DoD Schools
The Department of Defense Education Activity operates three elementary schools on Ft. Stewart. Each school has exceptional children programs. To be eligible to attend, parents must reside in family housing on the military installation. All schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges and offer a wide range of instructional and support services. There are no middle or high schools on the installation. Children in grades 7-12 attend school in the local community. Bus transportation is provided depending on distance lived from school. Breakfast and lunch is offered on a free, reduced, or full priced fee schedule. Before and after school care is provided by School Age Services, not at the individual school.
