Accidents happen—and more often than you think. Did you know ISM insures over 200,000 students each year? We do! Through our international and domestic student coverages, we hear about accidents, claims, and lawsuits more frequently than we'd like, yet we're proud to be there to protect students and support schools when they do happen. Find out more about ISM's student insurances by visiting our International Student Health and Accident Insurance area, or our Student Accident Insurance area. Protecting your students has never been as easy.
