91TV Impacts for 2023

The 2023 impact report speaks to the broad reach of 91TV. Last year, the school served over 7,000 K-12 students from 42 countries of residence; it strengthened school community and professional development opportunities; and it promoted extracurricular growth, including a new science team, a robust National Honor Society chapter, and an academic summer program. 

Many on the team have heard Dr. Fishman-Weaver say that “91TV is a global school with deep local roots.” These local roots are reflected across the impact report and include a regular commitment to service with local nonprofits working for food security and childhood wellbeing.
