Idaho registers proprietary (postsecondary) schools through the State Board of Education and conditions registration on a student-protection surety bond under Idaho Code Title 33, Chapter 24. The amount is sized to your enrollment and tuition, and the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears in the calculator below.
















No underwriting queue for the standard school bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the State Board of Education. Here is the whole thing:
Your school details, the bond amount required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, so most applicants are approved and the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. If a check does run on a larger amount, it is a soft pull that never touches your score.
Submit the executed bond with your registration application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists on them.
Idaho requires proprietary (postsecondary) schools to register annually with the State Board of Education under Idaho Code Title 33, Chapter 24, with the details set in IDAPA 08.01.11. A registered school must keep a surety bond in force for the benefit of its students.
The bond protects students against a school's failure to deliver the instruction they paid for — if the school closes mid-course or breaches its tuition contracts, harmed students can recover against the bond. It also backs the school's compliance with the chapter and the Board's rules.
The amount is sized to your school. The Board's rules tie it to enrollment and the tuition you collect, with common tiers stepping up as your student count and tuition grow. The bond must stay in force with no lapse throughout the registration year — confirm your required figure with the Board, and your exact price appears at the application, starting from $100.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the State Board of Education.
