DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPENDENTS SCHOOLS (DODDS)
Canadian Forces students have been attending the United States Department of Defense Schools
(DoDDS) for over fifty years with excellent results. The US Department of Defence Dependents Schools
(DoDDS) and DND Dependants Schools Overseas have been in partnership since 1967 providing
secondary education.
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is committed to academic excellence. The
United States Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) provide a quality education from
Kindergarten through Grade 12 for the eligible dependents of Department of Defense military and civilian
personnel of official overseas assignments. Dependents of other federally connected members (i.e. CF
members) may attend DoDDS schools on a space available basis. To ensure students in the DoDDS
system continue to have access to a quality educational program, the requirements for high school
graduation have been increased.
Canadian Military students attending other than a Canadian Curriculum school outside Canada,
are to make maximum use of the Advanced Placement program as offered by the College Board and
which enables a student to complete college-level studies during secondary schooling, thus serving as an
"academic bridge" that helps to smooth the transition from secondary school to college/university outside
Canada. The AP examinations are given each May at participating schools. Exams are marked in June
and in early July; the grades are reported to the students, their secondary schools, and the universities and
colleges they may be entering. College board results do not determine/provide the pass/fail mark for a
course at the secondary school attended in the United States or DoDDS, as AP courses/exams are not part
of a high school graduation requirement. AP exams/testing, as provided for by the College Board, is used
by a college/university to judge a common academic standard of applicants. The post secondary
institution may also use them as a basis for determining academic credit and/or advanced course
placement.
