Having an important place in the innovation movements in the field of education in the Ottoman Empire, Rüştiye schools have become the most common and important educational institution of the country in time. Tarsus Junior High School, which is the subject of this study, has maintained its feature of being the most important Muslim School of the city since its establishment until the Republic years. Established in 1863, Tarsus High School was transformed into a primary school in 1914 and transformed into a 6-class school under the name of Rehber-i Füyûz Mektebi. The name of the Directory-i Füyûz School was first changed to Guide-i Füyûz Sample School and then to Male Sample School. The education period of 6 years has been rearranged as 5 years since 1925. In accordance with the decision taken by the First Education Council on October 31, 1925, the name of the school was changed again as Misak-ı National Primary School in 1926 and became a primary school providing 5 years of education. The most important records about Tarsus High School are in the archive of Sakarya Primary School in Tarsus. After the transition of these schools to the new education system in the Republic years and their names changed, their archives were collected in the National Pact Primary School and kept there for a long time. The Misak-ı Milli Primary School was sold to the SEV Foundation, which also includes the Tarsus American College and is affiliated with the American Board Association. The archive of the school has been transferred to Sakarya Primary School. Today, in the archive of this school, there are year-end test charts of Tarsus High School, Directory-i Füyûz, Upstream Iran and Male Sample Schools, teacher registry books and imprint books. The most documents belong to Tarsus Junior High School. In these documents, there are year-end exam charts of the high school students and their successors, Guide-i Füyûz, Erkek Numune and Misak-ı Milli schools from the 1872-1873 academic year to the 1927-1928 academic year. From these tables, which constitute the main source of the research, statistical data were obtained on many subjects such as the duration of education, the courses taught and the changes made in these courses from year to year, the number of students and success rates. By evaluating these data, the characteristics of an ordinary rural high school in the Ottoman Empire were determined, and the change and transformation phases were tried to be revealed in the process from its angle to its closing.
