Get more from your home insurance with the Education Extra Package


At OTIP, we understand that the needs of the education community sometimes fall outside the more traditional home insurance policies. That's why we offer the Education Extra Package to help you have peace of mind that all your assets are covered, whether they're with you at home or you leave them at school.

The Education Extra Package is available exclusively through OTIP*. It can be added to your home, condo or tenant insurance to increase your personal property coverage, including the items you leave in your classroom.

The below chart compares the coverage between a traditional home insurance policy and one that includes the Education Extra Package:
