The objective of this research is to demonstrate how, in the XIX century, the model of education adopted in Brazil made the secondary school in the “Província de São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul” to become unofficial. In this context the “Liceus”, official institutions, and the schools, private institutions, would be constantly engaged in disputes to define which place would educate the elites better. As institutes of education, the regulations and programs of studies, from both the “Liceus” and schools, showed that the education was based on the classic humanities. Strongly based on the Latin, these institutions would allow the entrance of the elites in academic programs and, further, in leading positions in the government. Having a curriculum prepared to attend the students’ necessities to face the preparatory exams and, being boarding schools, the schools would prepare the students better and in a shorter time. Using a theoretical corpus based on Foucault, Varela, Alvarez-Uría, Chervel and Petitat, it was possible to evaluate the harsh discipline in the environment of the schools. It was an austere and close environment; all the gestures and attitudes were subjected to control and surveillance. Such model of education produced obedient, disciplined and ordered students. The head teachers, the teachers, and the subjects of study were vital to accomplish this task by ordering, disciplining, restricting, drilling and shaping competently future leaders. As the “Liceus” could not perform this task properly, the schools became the place where the ruling classes were shaped. In this way, establishing in the secondary schools the preparatory courses, which aim would be to get at university, it was expected to see in the “Província de São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul” the end of a process of teaching which was graded, long and methodic.
