We at Van Der Meer Academy work hard to create a comfortable, secure and safe living environment for each of our students.

Therefore, it must be understood that any personal items that are brought and stored in the Van Der Meer facilities are the responsibility of the individual who brings them. Further, it should be noted that upon any departure students should take the necessary steps to secure any of their personal items that they feel may be at risk. Items can be boxed and sealed and stored at the Academy if necessary.

Important documents like I-20's, airline tickets, large amount of cash, can be stored temporarily with us in the safe, or personal account.
