Special Services

Pre-Kindergarten

The Fort Benning Schools offer a half-day Pre-K program to children who reside on post and who will be four years old on or before September 1, of the current year. Pre-K teachers utilize a student-centered approach and encourage children to develop their abilities as they work in areas focused on computer skills, art activities, creative play, and academic readiness. Parents who live on post should register their child at the neighborhood school.

Special Education

Special Education 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 706-545-5520 if you are concerned about your preschooler. For infants and todders, ages 0-2, you may contact Educational and Developmental Intervention Services at 706-545-3835.

Gifted/Enrichment Program

Fort Benning Schools' program for gifted students who meet eligibility criteria for gifted or enrichment is based on curriculum that emphasizes higher level thinking skills, creative problem solving skills, development of a strong self concept, aesthetic awareness, and the development of positive interpersonal relations.

Instructional Support

All Fort Benning Schools offer Instructional Support services to help accelerate student progress. Students whose standardized test scores indicate a weakness in reading and/or math may qualify to receive additional academic support in an Instructional Support program.

English-As-A-Second Language

The English-As-A-Second Language program is designed to assist students whose native language is not English. ESL students from grades K - 8 are served at Faith Middle School and White Elementary School. Students in Pre-K are served in the regular classroom.

School Health Program

Registered nurses and nursing assistants serve as part of school faculties in the Fort Benning Schools. Each school houses a well-equipped clinic staffed by school personnel prepared to administer first aid and deal with medical emergencies or illness. Vision and hearing screenings are conducted each year for all students. Scoliosis screenings are scheduled for grades 4-8.

Counseling Program

Fort Benning Schools have a counseling program in each school. Counselors provide group guidance, individual counseling, and consultation with teachers, students and parents. The school counselor has an opportunity to meet with the students in each school for group lessons in self-understanding, expressing ideas, interpersonal relations, rights and responsibilities, decision making, motivation, and problem solving. Teachers, individual students, or parents can make referrals for school counseling services.
