The discrimination for sexual orientation has become in one of the most worrying problems in the contemporary school systems, either by the psycho-emotional damage it causes to victims as for the social consequences that distorts relationships and transforms school in unsafe and unrewarding space for learning and personal development. From the records of complaints of discrimination by sexual orientation from the Ministry of Education, newspaper articles and testimonies of victims of homophobic violence in Chilean school settings, the article proposes ten prevention strategies, management and combating school homophobia. Strategies that seek to promote and encourage educational communities in reflection and dialogue on the issue, so as to develop their own prevention programs to meet their own needs, interests and cultures.

Keywords : strategies; prevention; homophobia; school system.
