This article seeks to understand the process of nationalization of education proposed by the Brazilian State and its relationship with the schools of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, at the end of the 1930s. Although the synod understands that it is not part of its sphere of action, in the educational area, the issue of defending a Germanic culture, and of being nationalizing such understandings were not so evident especially with the Secretary of Education and Health of Rio Grande do Sul who, at the very least, suspected and employed surveillance over the synod. Finally, if, on the one hand, the synod claimed to be in the process of nationalization, on the other, several schools of the synod were closed for failing to comply with the rules of nationalization of education.

Keywords : Nationalization of Education; Lutheran Schools; Missouri Synod.
