Enrollment eligibility for dependents of DoD personnel assigned to an overseas area is governed by the provisions of DoDEA Regulation 1342.13, "Eligibility Requirements for Education of Elementary and Secondary School-age Dependents in Overseas Areas," February 29, 2008, as amended.
Elementary School Services / Placement (Grades K-5) Grades K-5, in priority order
Middle School Services / Placement (Grades 6-8) Grades 6-8 in priority order
High School Services / Placement (Grades 9-12) Grades 9-12 in priority order
Exceptions
The only exception to this policy will be for those dependents whose DoD sponsors are either independently assigned to a Department of State activity or in a personnel exchange program status to a host nation program. In these cases the DoD sponsor will be afforded the same educational allowance provided to Department of State employees or to members of the host nation program to which the DoD sponsor is assigned or attached up to the published Department of State Standard Regulations (DSSR) rate.
Notes: Boarding school (OCONUS/CONUS) delivering instruction in English or any language acceptable to the parents within the established DSSR cap based on the sponsor's post location. Area Policy: DoDEA will reimburse round-trip transportation to overseas residence which usually coincides with the winter (Christmas) recess and the spring (Easter) recess, if within the DSSR cap.
