There are no DoD schools at the NSA Bethesda (NSAB) Montgomery County; however, has abundant educational opportunities for preschoolers through adults. The local public school system is the Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) system.
The School Liaison Officer is the primary point of contact between the military installation, the local school administration, including the Department of Defense Education Agency (DoDEA) Schools, parents, and the community at large. The Navy School Liaison Officer helps installation and regional commanders work with state departments of education and local school districts to ensure school personnel are aware of the stressors on military families brought on by frequent transitions and extended deployments. These education professionals are located on all major Navy installations and serve as "links" between Navy families and schools.
The School Liaison Officer specializes in serving military families and offers a wide spectrum of services, enabling families to become more involved in their child's educational experience.
Navy School Liaisons provide seven core services to assist families: School Transition Services, Deployment Support, Home School Linkage/ Support, Special Education System Navigation, Partnerships in Education, Post Secondary Preparations and, Command, School, Community Communications.
Parents with questions about school-age child education are encouraged to contact the installation School Liaison Officer at 301-295-7849.
