This article analyzes the process of expansion of Salesian confessional secondary schools in Mato Grosso and its contribution to the civilizing formation of young people with greater purchasing power in that state, from 1895 to 1951. Initially, we consulted dissertations, theses, and scientific studies produced on the Salesian Order in Brazil and in the state of Mato Grosso. Afterwards, we turned to documentary sources, prioritizing scientific journals. The analysis is anchored in the contributions of Norbert Elias. The results showed that the educational performance of the Salesian Order was directed and expanded, mainly to the south of the state, where they offered secondary education for both sexes, in different schools, aiming at the civilizing formation of young people from families with greater purchasing power, preparing them as leaders to act in society, in the case of men, and as wives and mothers conscious of their duties to family and society, in the case of women.

Keywords : Salesian Order; Secondary school; Expansion; Youth training.
