Who We Cover

Insurance for Faith-Based Schools & Daycares

Whether your school operates under a church or as a standalone academy, we build one coordinated program.

Religious schools and daycare programs combine the exposures of a house of worship with those of an education business — and both need to be covered without gaps. Whether your school operates under a church or as a standalone academy, we build one coordinated program.

We work with pastors, school administrators, and daycare directors to make sure coverage follows the actual structure of your organization, not just its name on paper.

What We Insure

Faith-based education takes many forms, and each one has its own facilities and programs to protect.

  • Christian schools, academies, yeshivas, and other religious day schools
  • Church-operated preschools, daycares, and mother's-day-out programs
  • Before/after-school care and summer programs
  • School buildings, playgrounds, gyms, labs, and buses

Coverage Considerations for Religious Schools

Because schools and daycares combine education, childcare, and ministry, coverage needs to address several exposures at once.

  • Educators legal liability — claims alleging failure to educate, discipline disputes, and accreditation issues
  • Student accident coverage — medical coverage for injuries during school activities and sports
  • Abuse & molestation coverage — essential, with screening and prevention support
  • Property & liability — coordinated with the sponsoring church's policy so nothing falls between the two
  • Workers' comp — teachers, aides, and support staff; state daycare licensing requirements

Church School or Separate Entity?

If your school operates under your church, we make sure the church policy actually extends to school operations — a common and dangerous gap. If it's separately incorporated, we structure standalone coverage that coordinates with the church's program.

Coverages we typically recommend

Schools Insurance — FAQs

Does our church's policy automatically cover our school?

Not always. This is one of the most common and dangerous gaps we find — a church policy may not extend to school operations unless it's specifically endorsed to do so.

What is educators legal liability, and do we need it?

Educators legal liability covers claims alleging failure to educate, discipline disputes, and accreditation issues — exposures that a standard general liability policy typically doesn't address.

Is student accident coverage the same as health insurance?

No. Student accident coverage provides medical payments for injuries during school activities and sports, regardless of fault, and works alongside — not instead of — a family's own health insurance.

What if our daycare has state licensing requirements for insurance?

We're familiar with state daycare licensing requirements around liability and workers' comp, and we structure your policy to meet them alongside your broader coverage needs.
