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. Click here for a message from our district superintendent.
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.
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is a Department of Defense field activity operating under the direction, authority, and control of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for personnel Support, Families, and Education. DoDEA provides education to eligible Department of Defense military and civilian dependents from preschool through grade 12 at sites both in the United States and overseas.
Courses of study in DoDEA schools parallel those found in public schools in the United States .
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.
