Resumo
Nesta monografia, analisamos produções bibliográficas e registros documentais que tratam da entrada e da implementação da educação protestante na cidade de São Paulo, tendo como referência a Escola Americana, criada em 1870. O período de análise se estende até 1912, ano em que o médico e educador estadunidense Horace Manley Lane (1837-1912) deixou a direção da Escola, devido ao seu falecimento. A finalidade foi a de compreender, no contexto da época, os princípios educacionais, a organização da instituição bem como identificar reflexos da religião protestante no desenvolvimento da proposta educativa da Escola. O procedimento metodológico foi o de pesquisa bibliográfica, para a identificação de textos relacionados ao tema, no SciELO, Google Acadêmico e repositório de teses e dissertações da CAPES. Também foi realizada uma pesquisa documental no acervo institucional do Centro Histórico e Cultural Mackenzie, pela sua plataforma online, no qual encontramos alguns documentos como periódicos e prospectos institucionais. Para análise, selecionamos 20 textos, entre bibliográficos e documentais, que revelaram, no período estudado, que o projeto da Escola Americana se expandiu para além da missão evangelística, pois, ela se tornou uma escola pioneira, centrada em inovações educacionais e aberta a todos grupos sociais. Constatamos ainda que as trocas existentes entre a Escola Americana e as instituições públicas em São Paulo, no período, contribuíram para a divulgação de métodos e práticas presentes no sistema de educação dos Estados Unidos. Esse trânsito de métodos e práticas de ensino, que inovavam, colaborou para a crescente popularidade dos republicanos e para a afirmação de seus valores, por meio da educação, o que contribuiu para que reformas fossem realizadas. Os documentos encontrados puseram em evidência as mudanças educacionais pelas quais a Escola passou nesses quarenta e dois anos iniciais de sua existência, e trouxeram detalhes sob o ponto de vista da própria instituição.

The period of analysis extends until 1912, the year when the American physician and educator Horace Manley Lane (1837-1912) left the school’s leadership due to his passing. The aim was to understand, in the context of the time, the educational principles, the organization of the institution, and to identify the reflections of Protestant religion on the development of the school’s educational proposal. The methodological procedure was a bibliographic research to identify texts related to the topic in SciELO, Google Scholar, and the CAPES thesis and dissertation repository. A documentary research was also conducted at the institutional archive of the Mackenzie Historical and Cultural Center through its online platform, where we found documents such as periodicals and institutional brochures. For analysis, we selected 20 texts, both bibliographic and documentary, which revealed that during the studied period, the project of the American School expanded beyond its evangelical mission, as it became a pioneering institution focused on educational innovations and open to all social groups. We also found that the exchanges between the American School and public institutions in São Paulo during this period contributed to the dissemination of methods and practices present in the education system of the United States. This exchange of innovative teaching methods and practices helped increase the popularity of republicans and affirm their values through education, contributing to the implementation of reforms. The documents uncovered highlighted the educational changes the school underwent during its first forty-two years of existence and provided details from the institution’s own perspective.
