DODEA: Kunsan does not have its own DODEA school — the base is primarily unaccompanied, so very few school-age children are present
Accompanied families: School-age dependents of accompanied personnel typically attend Korean schools in Gunsan or Jeonju, or homeschool
Homeschooling: Supported by DODEA's Non-DoD Schools Program (NDSP) for families on accompanied orders; curriculum materials and support available
International schools: None in immediate area; nearest international schools are in Pyeongtaek (Osan area, 2 hrs north) and Daejeon (1.5 hrs east)
Note: If you're PCSing with school-age kids, confirm command sponsorship and school arrangements before arrival — Kunsan is not designed for family life
