The social system is profoundly changed, producing
important consequences both in the school, and in our "communities." The
concept of community is polysemic and various, depending on the perspective
from which we study it. So, this essay focuses on the nature of the school as
educational community. We try to understand how the concept of community is
evolved from the traditional to a more contemporary vision (§ 1); then we
consider the meaning of virtual communities (§ 2) and, finally, the notion of
educating community (§ 3).
