Non DoD Schools Program ( NDSP )
Some duty stations in Europe do not have Department of Defense ( DOD ) schools in some or all grades . Dependent students in these locations are served by the Non-DOD Schools Program ( NDSP ) which provides access to English language educational options . This program is not available to local
civilian hires . Most NDSP supported locations are remote or in embassy locations . High School students at Camp Darby , Italy and Garmisch , Germany are served through the NDSP program . ( Elementary and Middle School students attend DoDEA schools in those locations .) There are additional NDSP supported options such as homeschooling or boarding school , but the vast majority of high school NDSP students attend local inter- national schools . Special needs support in NDSP locations is more challenging , and parents should review level of support prior to PCS ’ ing to an NDSP location . The enrollment process is a bit more complicated , so if you have a high school student and are heading to one of these locations , please be sure to contact the local
School Liaison Officer ( SLO ) as soon as possible . If you have orders to a remote location or embassy contact the
Army Europe Region SLO . Your SLO can help guide you through this process .
