Have you ever felt trapped by the rising costs of traditional health insurance? Windsor Charter Academy broke free from this cycle by transitioning to a self-funded health insurance plan with a captive. Join us as we share our six-year journey of financial liberation and explore how your school can do the same.

We'll delve into the specifics of our decision-making process, the implementation steps, and the tangible financial benefits we've realized. You'll gain insights into the mechanics of a self-insured captive model, including potential risks and rewards.

Discover how we secured our Board's support, addressed employee concerns, and ultimately achieved a level of financial stability that has allowed us to build substantial emergency funds and implement innovative retention programs.

By challenging conventional wisdom, we've proven that taking calculated risks can yield extraordinary rewards. We hope to inspire you to consider alternative insurance strategies that can empower your school to thrive.
