This research, which subscribes to the sociocultural-historical theory, aims at probing into how three upper-class self-called bilingual schools organize their bilingual teaching vis-à-vis the theoretical foundations that underlie the school’s pedagogical syllabus, official documents and the live observation of a few “class activities”. The corpus consists of the schools’ official documents (Political Pedagogical Syllabus and School Regiment); audio-recorded lessons, research journal, and the transcription of selected lessons. The theoretical framework of this research is grounded on the various bilingual education conceptions. As for the methodology, this is a critical qualitative research where knowledge is viewed in contexts that constitute subjects and as a possible contribution to their social evolution, taken here to mean material progression and symbolic emancipation of all subjects involved in the process. The analysis is carried out based on na enunciative-discursive-linguistic perpespective (LIBERALI, 2013), which helps reveal how the analyses are executed and interpreted. The results show that School A takes an interest in working for the community, which resonates with the concept of social practice. However, School A has a monoglossic view of language, despite belonging to a programme similar to an immersion. School B subscribes to a view closer to the social aspect, looking at bilingual education as a way of integrating cultures through globalized education, which likens it to the principle of social justice. It is described as an Upper Class or Elite bilingual education because it works the languages in a compartimentalized way. Finally, School C prepares its students to become world citizens better able to live, learn and work in a globalized world. School C appears to work predominantly with one language of instruction, in this case, English, which may suggest a disregard for the child’s background, which may, in turn, result in a lack of mobility
