Fort Lee does not have any Department of Defense Schools on Post. Fort Lee has a School Liaison Officer to assist parents with any questions or concerns they may have about local public schools K-12. The School Liaison officer acts as an initial point of contact for extracurricular activities involving the schools and questions about such things as bus routes and policies.

Several schools, public and parochial, are located close to Fort Lee. The Prince George County School System has been designated as the agency responsible for the education of family members residing on Fort Lee.

The school liaison officer also acts as a point of contact for the home schools and general information and questions relating to such things as registration, bus routes and schools policies.
