This autoethnographic study propose a model for restructuring schools, especially those owned and managed by religious congregation. This model is a product of the research's nine-year experience as an administrator in two schools that underwent successful restructuring. Triangular in data sources was observed to ensure credibility. These sources included school documents, journals, manuals, and artifacts, and the researcher's personal journals, and letters, reflections, and observations, as well as transcripts of personal interviews of participants in the respondent schools. Data were qualitatively analyzed using within-case and cross-case analyses. The emerging model is a valuable guide for school administrators who are confronted with the same problems the participant schools went through prior to restructuring, recovery and growth.
