Education

Fort Knox schools are a part of the Kentucky Community in the DoDEA Americas Southeast District. The mission of the Fort Knox Community Schools is to educate, engage, and empower each student to succeed in a dynamic world.

Our schools are fully supported by significant hardware, software, and technology staff at both the district and the school levels. Each school has a high-speed network that enables computer users to access programs and files on servers and to share devices, such as laser printers. Every school has a computer lab, and the larger schools have two labs. The computer to student ratio is 1 to 2. School computers have broadband Internet access.

In addition, every school has a digital network that brings Kentucky Educational Television programs into the classroom. All schools have closed circuit and cable television programs. For instruction, every school has numerous TVs, VCRs, DVD players, SMARTboards/whiteboards, and projectors. Wi-Fi is available, and media centers are areas for students to check out electronically the textbooks or any other books they need.

Approximately 1,550 students attend four schools:

If you wish for your children to attend a private school, you will have several choices here. Please note that tuition for each school is not stated. There are several different rates for each, depending upon whether or not day care and before/after school programs are included and upon how many children there are in the family. Tuition rates change frequently and the school personnel asked that we not publish the rates. They wish to evaluate each family based on their particular situation.

The Army Continuing Education System (ACES), Directorate of Human Resources, provides a wide range of academic and nonacademic educational opportunities as well as training opportunities to members of the Fort Knox community. ACES offers academic programs from basic skills to post-graduate programs to support the educational goals of everyone in the community.

Testing services are available for Army Personnel Testing (APT) and at the National Testing Center (NTC). Read the Programs and Services section for detailed information on how we can assist you.

The Army recognizes that continuing education is voluntary and depends on individual goals. In support of its mission and that of the total Army, ACES supports the following mission goals:

• Develop confident, competent leaders
• Allow the community members to achieve their highest educational potential
• Assist Soldiers to maintain training and mission readiness
