Livorno High School
There is no DoDEA High School at Camp Darby. However, school options are supported by the NonDoD Schools Program (NDSP). School options for qualified sponsored 9th-12th graders stationed in Camp Darby include the following:
1. Apply for enrollment in the International School of Florence (ISF), which is approximately 1.5 hours by bus from Camp Darby. Transportation to and from the school is provided for qualified students. Although students may apply to ISF, acceptance is contingent upon meeting academic requirements and available space. High School students are required to complete the application process prior to admission. The SLO and US government have no control over the admission policies and procedures.
2. Apply for enrollment to the Canadian School of Florence (CSF) located in downtown Florence which is approximately 1.5 hours by bus from Camp Darby. CSF offers both a day school and a boarding school option.
3. Parents may elect to homeschool. Financial support for programs & materials from the Non DOD Schools Program (NDSP) is available to DoDEA eligible high school students. In addition, homeschool families may choose to enroll in the DoDEA Virtual High School
4. Apply for students to attend a boarding school that is at least 50 miles away from Camp Darby. In the case of boarding schools, parents will be reimbursed the "away" rate up to the maximum DSSR allowance for Camp Darby. The NDSP program can assist you in finding options that will fit the DSSR allowance and meet your child's needs.
Non DoD Schools Program (NDSP) provides approval, guidance, and financial support for all three options. For more information on NDSP go to the NDSP website. Sponsors are required to have official DoD orders for Darby before registering for NDSP.
Families are encouraged to explore these options according to their family needs. For assistance and guidance, please contact the Darby School Liaison Officer.
