French agricultural education schools have two characteristics :  They are composed of “constitutive centers” which receive different pupils : students, adults or trainees. They also have a farm (or a technological center).  They have to contribute to the promotion of rural and agricultural sectors. The research aims at analyzing the agricultural education school as an area partnership, studying two levels :  an internal partnership (between its “constitutive centers”)  an external partnership, with pupils’ parents or with agricultural firms or associations. Our first hypothesis refers to an homomorphism between these two levels. Following the theory of the « organizational action » (Maggi, 2003), our second hypothesis concerns a connection between two dimensions: first, the characteristics of these partnerships, then their strategies and consequences. Our investigation used online questionnaire to study partnership through the actors point of view : about 30 schools and constitutive centers directors, 250 teachers. The analysis is underway. It consists in :  describing the two forms and the two dimensions of the partnership  suggesting a school modeling as an area partnership • Bibliography Maggi, B. (2003). De l’agir organisationnel.
