From the second half of the nineteenth century, came to Brazil the first few American Protestant missionaries. School education was one of the main ways to disseminate their message in our territory. This paper aims to talk about the conditions of establishment and initial operation of an educational institution created by the Baptists in the capital of Minas Gerais. Will be treated on the expectations of Americans and Brazilians to their operation, the representations created around the institution, and its insertion in the educational context of the town at the time.
