This article seeks to understand the way Porfirian elementary schools in Mexico City operated as complex spheres of social interaction. Through an analysis that incorporates the spatial variable, it provides a different perspective from the curricular and political studies undertaken to date. The reconstruction of the form acquired by schools as a specific place enables the reader to "see" the everyday movement of school life and thereby find an explanation to problems such as social integration into the educational system in the city, absence from school, disciplinary control and drop out rates in the early 20th century.
