Welcome to the Ft. Benning Community!

Our schools belong to the Georgia/Alabama district and are a part of the Department of Defense Domestic Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS). The military command, school board and parents provide wonderful community support to us and we feel fortunate to serve the families of our military sponsors.

We have a total of 7 schools (6 elementary and 1 middle) which serve the families living on the Ft. Benning installation. Children attend our schools from Pre-K through 8th grade. High school students residing on the installation (Grades 9-12) attend local county high schools. These links are provided for your assistance: Muscogee County Schools, Chattahoochee County Schools, Russell County Schools

Special Ed services are available to all students including preschoolers. If you have concerns regarding your child's academic, physical, social, or language development, you may contact your child's teacher or the principal. Preschool children ages three and four years with developmental delays, physical disabilities, or speech-language problems may be eligible for services. You may contact the Special Education Office at 706-545-8263/7276 if you are concerned about your preschooler. For infants and toddlers, ages 0-2, you may contact Educational and Developmental Intervention Services at 706-545-3835.
