Protecting the education of our future generations.
Tuition insurance for private PK-12 schools.
Introducing the Tuition Refund Plan
When a student withdraws or is dismissed during the school year, not only does the student's family suffer a financial loss, but the school may as well. At Dewar, we understand the serious ramifications that withdrawals cause for both schools and families. The Plan can help mitigate or eliminate these financial consequences.
Working with us means you can rely on an exceptionally responsive team that is highly knowledgeable about the independent school community. We originated tuition insurance, and we are dedicated to supporting you and the families that make up your school's community.
The Tuition Refund Plan is in use at nearly 1,200
leading independent schools and colleges.
