Through a qualitative approach, education professionals and their corresponding teams of the Family Health Strategy were interviewed , and also students who benefited from the program, as well as members of the municipal Working Group of the Intersectoral PSE of Goiânia. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis to formulate emerging analytical categories. From the interviews, the process of implementation of PSE, the perceptions of respondents of the themes developed in the PSE´s projects regarding intersectoral matters, the impact of actions developed in the school community, the facilitators and the shortcomings in undertaking the actions, the PSE´s potential to induce intersectoral actions and future perspectives were described. The results allowed a better understanding of the PSE, showing that there is no evidence of the consolidation of intersectoral actions, but there was an approximation and the emergence of important partnerships and actions aiming the establishment of healthy school environment within the Health Promotion.
