Service members will only stay on active duty if they can provide for their familiesand DOD schools provide a world-class education that has proven time and again to be an incentive for sailors, soldiers, airmen and marines to reenlist. Military dependents that attend DoDDS schools are highly regarded by prestigious universities the world over for a number of reasons, but theres one that youd have a hard time replicating in a stateside school system: theyve lived overseas, traveled the world, seen and experienced other cultures, learned foreign languages through immersion, and theyve gained an understanding of the world that you cant get in a traditional classroom. Add a rigorous curriculum and a long track record of high test scores throughout DoDDS, and its pretty easy to see why military kids are in such high demand.
