Overseas Schools Program

The Office of Overseas Schools supports American families living and working abroad by helping provide high-quality education for their children at the elementary and secondary levels. We serve the dependents of U.S. government employees assigned to embassies and consulates around the world, as well as other U.S. citizens living overseas. Our office partners with international schools to ensure they offer an educational experience that reflects American values and teaching methods, while also fostering understanding and cooperation between cultures. What makes our work unique is our commitment to maintaining high standards—often through U.S. accreditation—and our focus on building bridges between the United States and other countries through education.
