The educational trip to Portugal, in september 2018, to see seven Portuguese educational institutions that are considered innovative resulted in this essay with ethnographic inspiration, in which three of them are discussed. Here are presented their differentiated projects to contribute to the debate on prestigious schools and the role of management in the production of the high quality standards of teaching and student performance held by these institutions. A brief contextualization of Lusitanian education is presented so that the possibilities offered by the schools are understood. The first school is in Lisbon, it is private with a pedagogy that brings together human-religious formation and student autonomy, and the cohesion of institutional values, omnipresent from the physical structure to the curriculum of the ''sea''. The second, located in Coimbra, presents a very original set of characteristics: it is experimental, catholic, bilingual (Portuguese and English), with shared management by the professors who own the institution. The third is a public technical school in Oporto, with management composed by a public-private partnership, with the main emphasis being on resource management made by the principal and technological innovation. As results, we identify that institutions have in common the favoring of students' autonomy, which makes learning more effective.

Keywords : Management; Autonomy; Prestige; Portuguese schools.
