This research is situated within the scope of the sociology of education, specifically in a sociology of the relationship between education and inequality. Its central theme deals with the relationship between families and schools and school choice, particularly dealing with the relationship between middle-class families and two high-cost private schools in São Luís (MA).The research problem adopted aimed to understand how the choice of educational establishments by families can reveal the role of schooling strategies for the social reproduction of families and, consequently, for the reproduction of school and social inequalities.In turn, what I sought to objectify were the reproduction strategies of families that enroll their children in these schools through their school strategies. The methodological construction involved the use of statistics from different bodies to characterize the middle class, family arrangements and Brazilian education, as well as thirteen (13) interviews carried out with fathers and mothers linked to Colégio Reino Infantil and Escola Crescimento.The research sought to build theoretically and empirically throughout the chapters the argument that in order to understand the strategies of reproduction of families from the family and school relationship, especially through the choice of school as a family practice, it is necessary to take into account family/school principles collectives and family/collective resources.
