Continue School Planning

Apply to school(s) and make a selection, when possible, prior to your arrival.

Notify the school of your anticipated date of arrival and request that space be reserved at the appropriate grade level for your children. If your post has a Community Liaison Office Coordinator, he or she might be able to assist with advance registration.

Notify your children's current school of impending travel plans if special arrangements are needed to complete term work.

Request grade reports, test results, teacher evaluations,and samples of work, to facilitate grade placement at your post.

If your child will be applying for admission to a university in the coming year, request recommendations from teachers and counselors who know your child well.

Obtain information on special education by viewing the Overseas Special Education Reference Guide.

Check out facilities, summer camps, boarding schools, college placement, or educational testing by contacting the Education and Youth Officer at the Family Liaison Office.
