The research had a qualitative approach and the participants were 15 students and 10 teachers. The techniques used were observation, drawing and graphic design, and the questionnaire. The results showed the students a school associated with their physical and rural environment, where technology becomes a window to the outside world. For their part, teachers show the precariousness and neglect of rural schools and their poor working conditions; portrayed mainly in the lack of classrooms and poor administrative management, which in his opinion is not focused on the development of academic processes, which is the duty of the school; situation that leads to the need to rebuild and reconfigure the concept of school in this institution. This led to a proposal for intervention and shared vision of the PEI Institutional Educational Project focused on the context of this community
