MEDICAL/INSURANCE
Health & Insurance Policy for WWW Trips
Parents are required to update their child's health information with the Nurse’s Office before departure. The school and trip advisors must be informed of any medical conditions, physical limitations, allergies, and medications the student will take during the trip.
For information about recommended vaccinations or boosters for a specific country, parents should consult with a physician at least six weeks before departure. If a student is participating in an outdoor activity within the Czech Republic, it is strongly advised that they are up to date on their Tick-borne Encephalitis vaccinations.
Trip advisors will carry a first aid kit with essential medical supplies and have access to an emergency contact number for medical advice outside of the country.
Trip Insurance & Cancellation Policy
For international trips, insurance coverage is included in the trip fee and does not need to be purchased separately. However, the insurance company has updated its requirements for claims related to ANY trip cancellations due to illness:
A doctor’s note is required, confirming that the student is unable to participate.
The family must pay the school invoice as usual.
The receipt of payment and the doctor’s note must be submitted to Adela Pitrova (apitrova@isp.cz), who will process the insurance claim.
Note: This process qualifies you for a partial refund only, not a full refund
Important: If a student cancels their trip at the last minute for non-medical reasons, they will not be eligible for a refund.
If you have any questions, please contact Matt Eames (meames@isp.cz) or Raina Smith (rsmith@Isp.cz)
