Why do I need specialty insurance? The insurance needs of an educational institution are unique when compared to most other types of entities. The types of exposures endemic to an educational environment would not be well served by an agent or insurance company lacking long-term knowledge of how such institutions are run and the special risks they face. Our knowledgebase stems from decades of relationships with schools which share many of the same needs and exposures as your own school. IFS has cultivated strong relationships with carriers who specialize in insuring academic environments. We bring our medical carriers who have departments which specialize in assisting educational institutions and Property and Causality carriers who have built policies crafted to address the special needs of your school. These matched with our customer-centric service team create the best insurance experience you can find.
