Non DoD Schools Program (NDSP)

NDSP supports and funds (yearly tuition) education of authorized command-sponsored dependents of military members and Department of Defense (DoD) civilian employees assigned to overseas areas where no DoDEA school is available within the commuting area. The DoDDS-Europe, NDSP has the responsibility to oversee the payment of an education allowance when space-required, tuition-free students must attend local schools where no Department of Defense Dependent School is available. This program is available to authorized command-sponsored dependents of military members and Department of Defense civilian employees assigned to overseas areas in Stavanger, Norway.

The School Liaison Program Manager (SLPM) is the primary point of contact between the military installation, families, the NDSP program, private schools, home school families, and the community at large. The SLPM connects these different partners to help improve education for our military families in the Stavanger, Norway area.

Parents must register each school-aged child into NDSP before arriving in Stavanger in order to receive full paid tuition funding. Please register by clicking on the link to the right (NDSP- registration). For first-time family enrollments or if adding a new dependent, it is required you register using the NDSP Student Online Registration system.

Special Education or Individual Education Program (IEP)

Children with special needs, speech/learning disabilities, or physical developmental disabilities must be pre-approved for acceptance by the school and medical aid station before arrival. Parents with children with special education needs or supports can schedule a confidential meeting via phone with the SLPM and/or the Medical Aide Station for support in navigating the EFMP screening process as well as the process for finding medical or educational providers in the area.
