After highlighting certain specificities of rural schools isolated in London, this article emphasizes the analysis of school-rural daily life through the memories of teachers, parents of students, alumni. The deepening of capitalist relations engenders the emptying of the countryside and the consequent agony of isolated schools. The nucleation policy of these schools, developed in Londrina, by the Municipal Department of Education, symbolizes the modernization of the typically rural way of teaching, however, this proposal encountered certain resistance, especially in communities composed of small producers. This resistance, mediated by memory, is taken as a key element to resignify the school itself, identity and social cohesion, reaffirming belonging to the rural world. Registering these manifestations of resistance and the process of building citizenship, through the isolated rural school, is the most precise objective of this article.
