dc.description.abstractBuilding on the existing knowledge base about the progressive schools of the 1930s, and the reemergence of museum schools in the 1980s and 1990s which leveraged magnet and charter school legislation, the purpose of my master's project was to answer these questions, and propose strategies on how to develop a viable museum school. For a museum school to be successful, as this study found, it must engage its community, tap into a variety of in-kind and revenue-generating resources, and marshal behind it an organized, dedicated, enthusiastic, and energetic group of talented people. Additionally, because of the complexity of museum school governance and administration, informed leadership is key to the success of the organization. Also vital is an institutional strategic plan to assure that the school remains financially and functionally sustainable.
