Biographical/Historical Note: In the mid-1950s, many parents in Dayton, Ohio, were looking for a way to provide their children with exceptional educations, rooted in experiential learning as well as a classical, liberal arts curriculum to prepare students for higher education in college. In 1956, Dr. and Mrs. Fritz Marti came to Dayton and founded just such a school, The Marti School, on Munger Road in Dayton. Eight years later, the Miami Valley School evolved from its predecessor The Marti School. The Miami Valley School (MVS) opened at the Munger Road site in 1964. In 1966, the school moved to its present location at 5151 Denise Drive, Dayton. Mrs. George H. Mead donated the 17-acre tract of land that comprised the original Denise Drive campus, which has expanded and changed much over the years. There have been many additions to the Miami Valley School, including many new classrooms and new buildings. Major additions include: Student Activity Center (1978); Nutter Science Center (1993); Hobart Early Childhood Center (2001); Lofino Athletic Center and Yannes Arts Center (2004). The Miami Valley School is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS). It received preliminary accreditation at its opening in 1964 and permanent accreditation in 1973. In 1974, the school s tenth anniversary year, MVS launched its Immersion program, an experiential learning program for grades 7-12, and in that same year was the school s first graduating class of 17 students. In 1976, MVS received its college preparatory charter from the state of Ohio. The Miami Valley School s five headmasters: Walter Ted Truslow, 1964-1972 Robert E. Fatherly, 1972-1979 Duncan W. Alling, 1979-1986 Thomas G. Brereton, 1986-2006 Peter B. Benedict, II, 2006- Source: Barbara A. Cleary, The Miami Valley School, 1956-2003: A Retrospective (Wilmington, Ohio: Orange Frazer Press), 2004. Scope and Content: The Miami Valley School Collection contains the administrative, academic, and community history of the Miami Valley School. It would be most useful to someone interested in the history and practices of this particular school. The collection is divided into six series. Series I, History and Administrative, includes documents related to administration, policymaking, and operation at the school. It includes history materials, early brochures and an oral history project focusing on the founding of MVS. Other materials in the collection include administrative minutes and memos, Board of Trustees files, faculty minutes and memos, correspondence, faculty handbook, statistics and evaluations, parents association minutes, student directories, and information about school construction projects. Use of the Administrative series is restricted because it contains 3

some sensitive personal information about students and former students, such as grades, behavior issues, and home addresses. Series II, Development Office, includes items related to school fundraising and special events, such as: the school s auction fundraiser, Annual Fund drive, annual reports, anniversary celebrations, endowments, and memorial celebrations. This series also includes information relating to Mazza, a collection of artwork at the Miami Valley School. Series III, Academics, contains items related to the school s academic curriculum and programs. These items include: student handbooks, courses of study, course descriptions, Immersion intensive study programs, summer reading lists, summer camp, and academic awards nights. This series also includes items related to commencement, such as thankyou booklets, commencement programs and videos, and graduation speeches. Series IV, Publications, contains works published by or about the Miami Valley School. Publications by the Miami Valley School include: Phloem and Xylem, the school newspaper; The Bulletin, adult newsletter; Successions yearbooks; the literary and art magazines Aesthesia, Magnesia, Leisure Literature, MVS Writes Again, Many Voices Sounding; and one issue each of The Miami Valley School Magazine and Moiré. Publications written about MVS include: The Miami Valley School: 1956-2003, A Retrospective by Barbara Cleary and On the MVS Woods by William H. King. Series V, Scrapbooks, includes numbered scrapbooks dating from 1959-1995, as well as a series of scrapbooks called MVS in the News, covering the years from 1985-1997. These scrapbooks consisted mainly of newspaper clippings, which have been photocopied onto acid-free archival copy paper and placed in folders. Series VI, Photographs, VHS, CDs, DVDs, contains photographs (and some negatives), most of which are unlabeled. The photographs existed in two distinct groups upon donation to the archives, so those two groupings have been maintained and reflected in their arrangement: by subject or by year. Any photo CDs were separated and stored in the electronic archive. The bulk of photographs in both groups seem to be from the late 1980s through 2008. This collection also contains promotional videos, complimentary television news clips, commencement videos and two DVDs. The first group of photographs is organized according to broad subject headings. These photographs were all mixed up, in no particular order, when they came to the archives, so they were arranged by subjects, such as academics, student life, sports, special events, and student organizations. This first group also included several negatives, which have been filed with them. It is believed that these photographs came from the development office. The second group of photographs is organized according to year. These photographs came to the archives neatly arranged in photo albums, with the year clearly marked on the album. The original order has been maintained as nearly as possible that is, the order in 4

which they were placed into the albums. They are not in order by subject. It is believed that these photographs came from the yearbook staff, because many of them contain traces of the stickers used to designate page number and placement for yearbook layout. There were no negatives in this group.
