The 2022-2023 school year will be the second year of a four year Pilot Program that allows children of Active Duty military members who live off the installation to attend our on base DoDEA School.
Here’s how to enroll:

2. Open the application on a personal computer or personal wireless device due to security limitations with Department of Defense computers.
3. Fill out an application for each student you want to enroll.
To be eligible for the pilot program, authorized by the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, students must be a dependent of a full-time, active duty service member with orders to Maxwell Air Force Base or Gunter Annex.
The priorities for student applicants under the pilot program are:
1. Students who were enrolled at Maxwell Elementary and Middle School the previous school year.
2. Siblings of students enrolled under the pilot program.
3. All other applicants.
Parents can apply prior to their arrival at Maxwell-Gunter.
Where two or more students qualify in the same category and grade, the student who submitted the first application will be accepted.
The application will remain open, and administrators will periodically review applications as school enrollment changes. Administrators will contact parents directly if their child was selected for the program. See the school’s webpage for specific dates of the application review process.
