Abstract
Schools cooperate with various external stakeholders – parents, founding municipalities, cultural institutions, libraries, other schools, local communities, businesses and many others, providing a variety of benefits to each of them. In the first part, the paper deals with the characteristics and the importance of cooperation between schools and their environment, on the basis of the examined scientific literature and studies. The second part of the article presents the findings of qualitative research, a case study about the cooperation of the music school selected with parents, founding municipality
and public cultural institutions. Analysis of interviews and documentary material showed that the participation of the music school with its environment enables survival of the music school,
helps in the education and development of children and provides care
for cultural life in the city and beyond. Cooperation of the school with its environment is therefore an important factor in the success of the school, as well as of the environment in which it operates.
