Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to document 18 months of the planning, process, and outcomes resulting from the partnership between a private, faith-based university and a private, faith-based
K–5 school. Three primary research questions guided this study:
1) What are effective ways of approaching school=university partnerships within a private setting?
2) What are the assumptions of members of both institutionsregarding the partnership?
3) What are the criteria and outcomes of a successful partnership?
