Student Group Accidental Insurance
KIS provides Student Group Accidental Insurance Policy that applies to activities authorized by and under the supervision of school authorities during the school year. Activities also include school official one-day expeditions, AISAA games/tournaments and military reserve training. The accidental coverage is 65,000 baht for medical treatment per one accident and 150,000 baht for loss of life, dismemberment, loss of sight or permanent disability.
The school’s liability and insurance coverage are limited to the above sum. Whilst the school considers this level of cover reasonable and acceptable, it is highly recommended that each student also have his/her own medical policy appropriate to their circumstances. The details of Student Group Accidental Insurance Agreement can be obtained from the School Services department.
