The present research intends to address the importance of environmental education in the formal space in the face of the environmental crises of the contemporary period. Therefore, the objective of the study is to identify the conceptions and practices of environmental education existing in the Maria Isabel Municipal School located in the Environmental Protection Area (APA) of the South Coast, in the municipality of Estância, Sergipe. The study is qualitative and quantitative. The bibliographic research presents the emergence of environmental education, its implications for conservation and the approach of the theme in the contextualisation between the formal environment and the surrounding environment, such as schools located in Conservation Units. Data were collected based on non-participant observation, and semi-open questionnaires were administered to managers and teachers, which began in September and were completed in December 2016. Analysis categories were developed for the investigation of practices Within the school, as well as the possible relationship between the school and the APA. In the analysis of data, three environmental conceptions were identified: naturalistic (42%), anthropocentric (8%), globalizing (42%), and two tendencies of environmental education, preservationist and critical. The result of the research reveals that the practices occur in a timely manner, mainly in commemorative dates and are rarely contextualized with the APA, since, 62% of the teachers stated that they do not know that the school is part of an Environmental Protection Area. In addition, most managers and teachers make science and geography disciplines responsible for the development of environmental education activities. In this context, the multidisciplinarity of this subject is verified and it is observed the need for the continuous training of both managers and teachers regarding environmental education
