Contact information for key programs and services at this installation.
Each installation provides information about the types of schools and programs offered on or near your installation for your child. Learn about the types of programs, guidelines and requirements for each school. Whether you choose to send your child to a Department of Defense School, a private school or public school, your installation can help you explore all of your options to make the right decision for you and your child.
The three elementary schools on JBER are operated by the Anchorage School District (ASD); there are no DoDEA schools on the installation. Students residing on JBER are automatically zoned to attend these schools. Others may attend if space is available and an application must be submitted. Once your student reaches middle school and high school, they attend off-base schools. Middle and high schools offer sporting activities for all seasons of the year. For more information visit the Sports and Activities page on the ASD website: https://www.asdk12.org/ Services for students with special needs can be found at: https://www.asdk12.org/departments/academic-services/instructional-division/special-education/overview-services.
Before and After School care for grades K-5 is available through the JBER School Age Centers (SAC) for students attending the three on base elementary schools. Please check with either Illa SAC at 907-384-1068 or Ketchikan SAC at 907-552-5091 to ask which schools they service. Students attending an on-base school with a zone exemption must connect with the appropriate SAC program to check availability. Parents are required to show an approved zone exemption from the school. Please visit the Military Childcare site for more information and to register: https://militarychildcare.com/.
JBER families who live in Palmer or Wasilla and want to enroll their children in public school will register them through the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD). Please visit the MSBSD website for more information: https://www.matsuk12.us/.
School Liaisons are the primary point of contact on the installation for all matters concerning Pre-K through 12th-grade education for military families. They act as a crucial link between military families, base leadership, and local school systems, ensuring that the unique educational needs of military-connected students are met.
Alaska is a member of Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3), which recognizes the transition and deployment related issues unique to military children. Detailed information can be found at: https://mic3.net/.

Public Education
The Anchorage School District offers several learning options for students in Pre-K through 12th grade; traditional school (children attend school on site), AK Choice Virtual Learning for grades 9-12, and home school. Other programs such as English Language Learners and Gifted and Special Education are based on student need and have their own admission requirements. Please visit the Research Your Options section of the School District site to learn more.
Charter schools
Charter schools offer alternative teaching methods and more independence than regular public schools. Acceptance into an alternative or charter school is based on space availability and grade level. Parents must provide their own transportation to charter schools. Visit the Charter Schools section of the school district website for more information.
