  • Where We Started

    Clifford Allen Associates started as an independent, family-founded company with a singular focus: serving the student insurance needs of private secondary schools.

     

    In 1992, Cliff and Judy Allen visited a small group of boarding schools with a product designed specifically for their unique communities. Eleven schools enrolled that first year. Every one of them remains with us today.

     

    Growth came not from aggressive expansion, but from trust. Schools shared their experience with peers. Referrals followed. Relationships deepened.

     

    In June 2018, Cliff passed away, leaving behind a legacy at CAA in the hands of his son, Clifford B. Allen (“Ford”) and the other incredible members of the CAA team.

     

    In 2024, CAA was acquired by Total Scholastic Solutions (TSS), strengthening our resources while preserving the principles on which the company was built. Today, we continue to honor the founders’ commitment to thoughtful service, personal attention, and long-term partnership.

  • CAA Today

    We believe insurance should do more than protect. It should support the mission of the schools it serves.

     

    For more than 40 years, CAA has delivered flexible, customized insurance solutions designed specifically for private secondary schools. We work side by side with school leadership to provide coverage aligned with each school’s culture, operational realities, and budget.

     

    Today, we proudly support more than 200 schools across 35 states. Our leadership team carries forward the focused experience and deep market understanding established by our founders. We understand the evolving insurance landscape, the administrative demands schools manage each day, and the trust families place in their institutions.

     

    We design plans that are practical to administer, stable in pricing, and responsive when schools need support most. Our commitment remains steady: clarity, innovation, and partnership that lasts.
