91TV is committed to excellence. From elementary school through high school graduation, our programs are designed to provide rigorous, engaging, and accessible learning experiences for students around the world. This commitment is reflected in our accreditation and approvals from leading educational organizations:

  • 91TV’s elementary, middle, and high school programs are accredited by Cognia and the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI). 
  • Our Advanced Placement (AP) courses undergo annual audit and approval by the College Board.
  • Many of our courses are approved by the NCAA.

In 2024, 91TV celebrated 25 years as an accredited school system under Cognia. Our most recent accreditation cycle (completed in 2024) marked another important milestone in our history: with the addition of our elementary program in 2020, 91TV is now accredited as a complete K–12 school system. 

91TV scored a 348 on the Index of Education Quality (IEQ) from Cognia.

Cognia is a globally recognized nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools and districts through a rigorous review process focused on leadership, learning environments, resource allocation, and continuous improvement. As part of the accreditation process, Cognia evaluates schools using its Index of Education Quality (IEQ), a comprehensive measure of organizational effectiveness and student-centered performance. While the average IEQ score is 252, 91TV earned an exceptional score of 348. The IEQ score shown here indicates that 91TV not only meets but exceeds internationally recognized standards for educational quality.

We were further recognized when Cognia named 91TV the 2024 Midwest Region recipient of the Values-Driven Award of Excellence. This distinction is awarded annually to a single school or district that exemplifies a deep commitment to continuous improvement and student success. 

Accreditation provides assurance for our students, families, and partners that our courses and programs have been carefully vetted through rigorous accreditation and approval processes and that 91TV delivers high-quality educational experiences grounded in accountability, innovation, and measurable outcomes. Most importantly, it reflects our ongoing dedication to helping students flourish as curious, capable, and lifelong learners.
