Created in 1837, the currently federal Colégio Pedro II (CPII) has offered Education in different levels. In this article, we discuss in two parts how the first secondary school in Brazil has suffered some attempts of becoming a municipal or state school, in the 20th Century, throughout History of Education references, concerning the documental analysis of historical sources from NUDOM/CPII (Núcleo de Documentação e Memória do Colégio Pedro II), pieces of news and Oral History. Firstly, we discuss the ‘intended’ municipalization of CPII, in 1934. Then, we debate the crisis panorama that almost stateized it in the 1980s and 1990s. We conclude that Colégio Pedro II resists through the ‘tactics’ (Certeau, 1994) to guarantee its self-preservation and maintenance as a federal institution.

Keywords : history of education; history of institutions; tactics; Colégio Pedro II.
