The
Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS)
Europe, Non-DoD Schools Program (NDSP) has the responsibility
to support educational services at government expense
to authorized command-sponsored dependents of military
members and DoD civilian employees assigned to overseas
areas where no DoD Dependents School is available
within the commuting area. Parents electing to provide
home-schooling instruction rather than enrolling
their child in a local school must follow the procedures
and guidelines included in the Home-Schooling Information
Paper link to the left. Also see

| Special
Education Procedures |
The
Non-DoD Schools Program is committed to the provision
of appropriate special education and related services
for DoD dependents who are space-required and
eligible for NDSP. Please click on the link to
the left to read about the procedures that will
be followed in the identification and provision
of special education services for eligible DoD
dependents residing in areas where there is no
DoD school. The NDSP education point of contact
must issue authorization of payment for the cost
of all services prior to incurring any expense.
DoD sponsors assigned to overseas locations are
not authorized to obligate the US Government,
contract with a private institution, or charge
educational fees to DoDEA appropriations (e.g.,
Foreign Military Sales, Security Assistance Office,
or Military Assistance Program case funds) without
obtaining prior approval from the NDSP.
