They are the vegetable garden, the garden, the patios and other environments within the school. The green area provides an emancipatory education. Students use this space as a classroom, where they can have practical classes, learn about maintenance and care, as well as deepen their knowledge of natural sciences and biology. Goiânia has several schools with different spaces, the aim of this study was to analyze the existence, contributions and use of such areas, as well as their educational importance. The evaluations and the quality of the green area were analyzed through a closed questionnaire on the Google Forms platform. The schools were selected at random, among them the environmental importance within the school environment and its use can be seen: external classroom, laboratory, socialization place, meeting and others. Concluding that, the school space must be planned by the coordination and direction, its use must be stimulated, being offered courses to the teachers for the best use of these areas. Its importance goes beyond aesthetics, in addition to providing well-being for students, it becomes a space for active education, when used correctly.
