Seoul — History was made as the school year began this
week with Area I, notorious in the past for being known as an unaccompanied
tour, opening its first ever school Aug. 30. This is one of several planned
schools throughout Korea to improve family quality of life.
As tour normalization progresses, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Far East District has formed an enduring partnership
with the Department of Defense Education Activity along with
U.S. Forces Korea to provide new and better schools for children
of service members in Korea.
At the conclusion of school year 2009-2010, DoDEA had
approximately 4,000 students enrolled across the Department of
Defense Dependent Schools Korea District, which is located on
five military bases: Yongsan, Osan, Humphreys, Daegu, and
Chinhae. The district superintendent, Dr. Irby Miller,
anticipates growth of approximately 1,000 to 1,500 additional
students in Korea for this school year as well as the opening of
the new elementary school on U.S. Army Garrison-Casey.
