91³Ô¹ÏÍø is a community of high-performing, public schools committed to excellence, equity, and justice. Equipped with a 91³Ô¹ÏÍø education, our alumni are empowered to be successful in college, careers, and life.

25 years ago in a church basement in SE DC, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø founder Susan Schaeffler and a team of dedicated educators founded our first school, KEY Academy. Since then, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø has scaled from 80 students in that one middle school to nearly 7,500 students—in preschool through 12th grade—across 22 schools.

testimonials

"My family has 3 students at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø schools. They’re in the same grade, but they learn very differently. Their teachers have found a way to connect and push them individually to where they’re all striving beyond expectations. It’s truly amazing. "
