TRANSFERRING HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS
DoDDS high schools
operate on a standard semester system.� This is comparable to
most stateside high schools which makes transferring credits for most
children an easy process. However, some schools in the US have
switched from a semester system to a block system or a quarter system.�
Students transferring from these types of schools have had more
difficulty transferring all of their coursework to a DoDDS high
school, causing them to take extra classes to make up the difference.�
This is especially true when transferring in the middle of the school
year.� Parents of students who are currently attending a block
system or quarter system school should contact your DoDDS school to
determine if there are steps that can be taken prior to your arrival
to minimize any disruption in the student's course plan for
graduation.
ALTERNATIVES TO DODDS
Military and
civilian sponsors of school-age children who do not plan to enroll
their children in a DoDDS Europe school must complete a registration
form to indicate that their children will be enrolled in a host-nation
school or in a home-schooling program.� Registration forms should
be submitted to the local Base Support Battalion (BSB) School Liaison
Officer (SLO).� A form must be filled out and submitted for each
school-age child.
