Optional Student Accident Insurance
Did you know that the Surrey School District does not insure expenses for student injuries that happen on school grounds or during school activities? You are responsible for these expenses as a parent or guardian.

Parents interested in purchasing student accident insurance are encouraged to select a provider and plan that best meets their family’s needs. For added convenience, Surrey Schools provides information on available options through Insure My Kids and Study Insured Student Accident.

Ensure you’re insured for student accidents this school year
Accidents happen, but not everything is covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP).
The Surrey School District does not provide insurance coverage for student injuries that happen on school grounds or during school activities. Additionally, while MSP may offer limited coverage, it may not fully cover certain expenses or charges.
We encourage parents to purchase student accident insurance for injury-related costs not covered or limited under MSP or group insurance plans. These costs may include:
- Dental treatment
- Eyewear
- Rental of crutches or wheelchairs
- Splints and casts
- Physiotherapy
- Ambulance transportation
- Private tutoring and counselling
Optional student accident insurance is available through private companies and interested parents are encouraged to research which plan best suits their family’s needs.
Surrey Schools has made available information on student accident insurance through Insure my Kids and Study Insured Student Accident. Families have the option to voluntarily purchase coverage online through these programs or any other provider of their choice.
Annual plans offer 24/7 coverage for a full year, whether at school or home. Families with three or more children may qualify for a discounted rate.
