description This article originated from a case study conducted on a Family Agricultural School (EFA) located in northern Minas Gerais, with the aim of examining how its teaching model can contribute to the development of an educational perspective focused on rural subjects. The social representations of the graduates and their parents regarding the EFA were identified and discussed. This was a qualitative-exploratory study that used narrative interviews as a data production strategy. Sixteen interviews were conducted with graduates and parents, and these interviews were processed using the Iramuteq software for lexical analysis. The result of this analysis identified five classes of words outlining semantic fields that enabled the construction of the analysis categories. The school-family-community trinomial presented itself as a central element of representations about EFA, highlighting two dimensions, technical training and pedagogical principles. It is evident that dialogue between school-family-community is essential in the construction of knowledge in rural schools, as well as in transforming the reality of rural communities. This dialogue has positive impacts on the identity bond with the countryside, creating new possibilities for relationships with the territory. It appears that EFA's pedagogical proposal aligns with the Rural Education Movement and its public policies.
