The migratory fluency in Spain, receiving immigrants and losing Spanish population to other countries is a reality. The Moroccan population emerges as the second largest nationality of immigrants living in Spain in 2014. After Catalonia, the Autonomous Community of Andalusia is the second highest proportion of immigrants of Spanish Moroccan territory. To address the knowledge of the cultural identity of students from Morocco in Andalusia, our study aims to determine the perspective of Moroccan students of the public high schools of Andalusia in relation to their own cultural identity. The study population is composed of Moroccan students enrolled in the public high schools of Andalusia, reaching a final sample of 891 students. We rely on a quantitative methodology, using the descriptive method and a survey design. The main axes of our data collection instrument revolve around arrival and trajectory in Spain, contact with their homeland, their views on Moroccan traditions, aspects of their current life and their prospective vision of their future life. The main results of our study highlight the positive assessment students have of public high schools in Andalusia which make their experience in Spain, even to wish for their children to continue in the country; and the importance attached to this collective continuity and transfer of powerful Moroccan feeling they have. In conclusion we can say that there is a strong sense of Moroccan identity in the group under study, it is even higher when referring to the cultural field.
