Since the Organic Law of High School (1942), that was established by the Minister of Education Gustavo Capanema, the two elite schools from Florianópolis, capital of Santa Catarina, have been providing the scientific course – second cycle of high school. Catarinense School, administered by the Jesuits, and dedicated exclusively to male adolescents implanted the scientific course in 1943; Coração de Jesus School, managed by the Nuns from Divina Providência, and specialized in female education, created this level of education four years later. The present study aims to understand how the school culture of the scientific course was appropriated in each one of these schools, during the 1940’s and the 1950’s, considering that their clients were from wealthy classes, but different in gender. The confrontation among educational practices of a scientific course performed by a priests’ school and by a nuns’ school will be done through the analysis of subjects and the processes of school sociability. This historic reflection is based on sundry written documents, annual reports, scholarly journals and also on testimonials from egressed students.
Key words: scientific course, school culture, elite group, genre.
