Fort Belvoir Elementary School, located on the Fort Belvoir military installation in Virginia, serves the families of military personnel stationed in the area. Operated by the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) system in partnership with the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), the school is uniquely structured to support a highly transient student population. Because of this, the school places a heavy emphasis on social-emotional learning and community building, providing a stable and welcoming environment for children who frequently move due to their parents' military assignments.

The school is notable for its state-of-the-art, high-capacity facilities designed to accommodate a large student body while offering modern educational resources. Beyond its core academic curriculum, Fort Belvoir Elementary is deeply integrated into the military lifestyle, offering specialized support programs for students dealing with deployments or permanent change-of-station moves. By blending the rigorous academic standards of the FCPS district with a sensitivity toward the unique challenges of military life, the school strives to ensure that every student receives a consistent, high-quality education regardless of their family’s duty rotations.
