The NCA is also the accreditation agency for 19 states ensuring the DoD schools are comparable to U.S. school districts. Tuition-free, space -required enrollment is limited to command-sponsored pupils. The child's name must appear on the sponsor's overseas travel orders as proof of command sponsorship. Others may be admitted on a space-available basis, either tuition fee-free or tuition paying. Families who intend to enroll their children in DODDS and who require school bus transportation should contact the school bus office to determine whether or not they are on a bus route prior to signing a lease for a house or apartment off base. Registration for new students takes place year-round.
