In 1950´s, under predicted Brazilian Education Ministry, specific groups of educators, based on improved pedagogical practices, promoted a crusade in favor of what they understood as innovation in public and private schools. Experimental classes arrived in Brazil as defined by inspiration in the model of French nouvelles classes. The search examined the project carried out by Canadian intellectual Yvon Lafrance, between 1959 - 1962 at Santa Cruz School in São Paulo. Lafrance elaborated a report which, in its preamble, systematized philosophical and pedagogical concepts, main purpose of examination of this article, that considered the dynamic History-Institution-Intellectuals-Context, with emphasis in the conceptual propositions, derived from the document content. Thesis about a pedagogical experience that articulated assumptions of a Catholicism revised under the neotomistas basis was the result of this analysis. It was allied with the intentions to modernize the didactic field, in a context of rearranging strength and cultural struggle.
