Stuttgart community schools — three elementary, one middle and one high school — are part of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools Bavaria District. Elementary schools are located on Panzer Kaserne and Robinson Barracks, the middle school at Patch Barracks, and the high school at Panzer Kaserne.
Each elementary school serves a given geographic area, while the middle and high schools serve the entire community. The schools offer a variety of programs. The curriculum is the standard Department of Defense Education Activity program, comparable to schools throughout the U.S. Stuttgart community schools are accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement.

The school year runs from September to mid-June with high school senior graduation, the first Wednesday in June. Schools have the same two week winter break from in December and a one-week spring break in April.
School registration is available for incoming families at any time. Scheduled registration periods and pre-registration are set in April each year to help make the process go faster. Parents should contact the school serving their area for registration information. Most schools also offer newcomer orientations approximately a week before the start of classes, so parents are encouraged to contact the schools and start the registration process early. Child, Youth and School Services (CYSS) partner with the Hub Youth Center on Patch Barracks and the School Liaison Office to host teen orientation also giving youth an introduction to Stuttgart, and an opportunity to meet others in their age group.
