Qualitative research was carried out to understand how the subjects of health, education and the school community are involved in the Health at the School Program (HSP) and to evaluate the effectiveness of intersectorality in this context. An indepth interview was used as a collection method, which was evaluated by content analysis based on a matrix of interventions (MI). Of the three MI themes, the following were presented: HSP activities, management and training. Those involved in the HSP recognized the objective of the program and the concept of intersectorality, but there is still a need to involve, in an equivalent way, all subjects in the planning, development, evaluation and monitoring of the program; provide continuous training, improvements in communication and strengthening the link between sectors; and encourage community participation
