The students of all elementary schools are insured against accidents. The insurance is valid all over the world during class trips and camp schools according to the curriculum. In addition, the insurance covers trips that take place during school trips for school children (including dental visits during the school day).

Outside the school area, the insurance is only valid if the school has given permission (requires a written decision) to leave the school area. The insurance is also valid for schoolchildren's practical internships and related immediate trips.

Voluntary accident insurance is reimbursed, if the injured person visits a doctor in the private sector, based on the insurance, the public sector's tax share of the expenses is reimbursed.

If students have an accident at school or during a trip to school, the insurance company will reimburse the medical expenses. In the event of an accident, the teacher must be notified immediately.
