This thesis aims to identify the marks of Freemasonry in the Brazilian educational field, in the period between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, until 1930, as well as analysing the Masonic concept of Enlightenment, applied to the field of education, as opposed to Catholic Church` pedagogical proposal. Through the study of national and international literature on the subject, and of manuscript and printed sources of Freemasonry, namely readings of the masonic lodges` sessions records and official documents of internal disclosure issued during the period in question, held up a narrative sequence of actions developed by the members of this institution, concerning the project of establishing an education republican, secular, mixed and directed to work. The data were compiled and compared demonstrating the contribution made by this institution in structuring the republican school network in the country. Based on the clarification of track of ideas conformator of masonic thought in the world, until their arrival in Brazil, analysing the biographies of masons dedicated to national educational field, and, fundamentally, the discovery and mapping of hundreds of schools created and managed by Freemasonry during the period of the first republic, the presence of the Freemasonry on education can be marked. Therefore, the thesis concludes that these marks masonic persist until the present educational system in Brazil. Thus, it is expected that this thesis has contributed to a historiographical re-reading of relations between Education, School, State and Society, from the identification of possible marks bequeathed by Freemasonry in the field of Education.
