Moulay Youssef College, Educational institution in Rabat, Morocco.
Moulay Youssef College is a public secondary school in central Rabat that offers both general upper secondary courses and post-baccalaureate preparatory classes for higher education. The campus is made up of several buildings grouped around shared spaces, with classrooms, science labs, and staff and student facilities.
The school was founded in 1916, making it one of the oldest modern schools in Morocco. It was established at a time when the country was beginning to build a structured public education system.
For many Moroccan families, getting a place at this school is seen as a mark of academic success, and the name carries real weight across the country. The preparatory classes in particular have a reputation that draws students from regions far beyond Rabat.
The school sits in central Rabat and is easy to reach by public transport from most parts of the city. Since this is an active school, access to the grounds is limited, so it is best visited from the outside or during any officially arranged visit.
The school takes its name from Sultan Moulay Youssef, who ruled Morocco from 1912 to 1927, giving it a direct link to the early years of the protectorate era. This name is still visible on the school building today, marking the period when the institution was created.
