On Fort Benning, Georgia
The Fort Benning School System is dedicated to offering top quality educational programs for children of military personnel living on post. Six elementary schools and one middle school provide a wide variety of educational experiences for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Educational programs are designed to serve the unique needs of military families. Special emphasis is placed on accepting children at their current achievement levels and challenging them to process as much as possible while they are in the Fort Benning schools.
Fort Benning schools are fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Georgia Accrediting Commission. Continuing accreditation promotes a systematic, ongoing evaluation and improvement of the schools under the standards and guidelines of these two accrediting agencies. Accreditation is viewed as one facet of the system’s commitment of quality programs for children.
Fort Benning schools operate under the direction of a school board which is made up of parents elected to serve from each school community.
Parental involvement in the educational process is actively sought by the school system. Each Fort Benning school has a parent-teacher organization which brings parents, teachers and administrators together to work for increased educational opportunities.
Eligibility to attend the Fort Benning schools is based upon residency and age. Students must reside on post or have a billeting assignment for occupancy that will occur within 90 days. The student must be four-years-old on or before September 1 of the current year to enter pre-kindergarten. Students who do not meet the age requirements but have successfully completed an approved public school or a state/regionally accredited private school kindergarten program will be considered for admission to first grade.
Fort Benning’s high school students receive educational services at Spencer High School, a school brought about through the cooperative efforts of the Army, the Muscogee County School System, the Chattahoochee County School System, the State of Georgia and the U.S. Office of Education. Students in grades 9 to 12 should apply for admission to Spencer High School at the Columbus Roberts Center on Brown Avenue or call 649-0626.
Transportation to Spencer High School is provided by the Muscogee County School System for high school students living on post.
