The present dissertation starts from the evidence that the Brazilian social and economic system is aberrant for not including in the nation's global project the negro with his own different culture and values, this being corroborated by laws and development plans, present and past. It goes on to consider some features of Tia Ciata School, which is inserted in the public school system of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro and aims at teaching teenagers and young adults between the ages of 12 to 20, who had been rejected by the regular school, how to read and ,write and at giving them through those basic skills the necessary conditions to have a profession in a literate society. While relating that experience a new dimension took shape, unconceivable at first and related to the historical origin of those who are Invincible to the established school system because they are impossible to 'educate' and 'civilize'. To try to understand the Invincibles and the significance and the magic the streets have for them means researching the propositions and the projects of the ruling class for that clientele, aiming at 'ordering the disorder'. Finally, having characterized as well as possible the Invincibles using as subjects Tia Ciata School's pupils, it tries to describe the Imaginary School and the one that now has become real, its basic innovations, its way of approaching the students it intends to educate, and its possibility of intervening in the public school system by showing a way to change for better the present educational situation.
