MinistrySure insures private and Christian schools across metro Atlanta — Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, and the surrounding counties. We're an independent agency that works only with churches, Christian schools, and ministries, so a school program includes educators legal liability, student accident, and abuse and molestation coverage that a generic commercial policy leaves out.
A Christian school carries risks a church alone does not — classrooms full of children, athletics and field trips, activity buses, professional educators, and student data. Insuring it well means covering all of that under one program built for how a school actually runs. Our team has served 700+ Georgia ministries, many of them schools and church preschools across the Atlanta area.
What Atlanta Christian Schools Need to Know About Insurance
A Christian school's biggest exposures are the ones a standard commercial or church-only policy underinsures: professional liability for educators, injuries to students, abuse and molestation claims, and the activity-bus fleet. Most schools that come to us for a coverage review are missing at least one of these or carrying limits set far too low for the number of children in their care.
Educators Legal Liability
Teachers and administrators make decisions every day that can lead to claims — discipline, special-education accommodations, admissions, grading, and supervision. Educators legal liability (sometimes called school professional liability) covers those decisions. A general liability policy written for a church does not include it, which leaves the school exposed where it's most likely to be sued.
Student Accident and Abuse Coverage
Children get hurt — in PE, on the playground, at athletics, and on field trips. Student accident coverage pays medical costs quickly and keeps minor injuries from turning into lawsuits. Just as important is abuse and molestation coverage: it should carry a meaningful limit, and the strongest programs pay defense costs outside that limit so a single allegation doesn't exhaust the coverage your school depends on.
Activity Buses and Transportation
Atlanta-area schools that run activity buses, vans, or carpools for athletics and field trips need commercial auto built for a fleet, plus hired and non-owned auto for staff and volunteers who drive personal vehicles for school business. Transportation is one of the most common — and most expensive — sources of school claims.
Student Data and Cyber Exposure
Schools hold enrollment records, health information, and payment data for hundreds of families. A breach or ransomware event creates notification costs and liability. Cyber coverage built for a school addresses the data you're responsible for protecting.
Every person on our team was hired to serve ministries. Schools are part of that — not an afterthought.
Coverage Atlanta Christian Schools Typically Need
A complete program for a private or Christian school in metro Atlanta usually includes the following. The right mix depends on enrollment, athletics, transportation, facilities, and budget.
- Property insurance — buildings, classrooms, gymnasiums, contents, technology, and playground equipment at replacement cost.
- General liability — bodily injury and property damage from school operations and events.
- Educators legal liability — professional liability for teachers and administrators.
- Student accident — medical coverage for injuries during school activities, athletics, and field trips.
- Abuse and molestation liability — a meaningful limit, ideally with defense costs outside the limit.
- Directors and officers (D&O) — protects the school board for decisions made in their official capacity.
- Workers' compensation — required by Georgia law for schools with three or more employees.
- Commercial auto — activity buses, vans, and hired/non-owned auto for staff drivers.
- Cyber liability — breach and ransomware coverage for student and family data.
- Employment practices liability (EPLI) — wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment claims from staff.
