DDESS gif

More than 30,000 dependents of U.S. military personnel attend DoD schools in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. A listing of these schools is available with links to school email addresses and websites. It is also possible to view academic performance information on each school and district in the DoD Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary School system.

All DoD Domestic Schools are located on military bases, and families whose children attend DDESS must reside on base, with the exceptions of Puerto Rico and Guam, where families may live off base.
