Small private schools may offer a close-knit, personalized learning environment—but they still face major liability exposures. Without the right insurance, just one incident could derail years of progress.

Top Risks to Prepare For:

  1. Slip-and-Fall Incidents – Common and costly without adequate general liability coverage.

  2. Cyber Attacks – With increasing reliance on digital tools, breaches of student or faculty data are rising.

  3. Employment Practices Claims – Disputes involving hiring, termination, or discrimination can lead to costly lawsuits.

  4. Natural Disasters – Property damage from fire, storms, or floods can shut down operations without property insurance.

  5. School Trips or Activities – Off-site events expose schools to additional liability.

Being proactive is not optional—it’s essential.
