Abstract The aim of the research is to identify the impact of the educational program in developing the moral intelligence of second year intermediate female students in Mosul city by verifying the validity of the following hypotheses developed by the researcher:1.There is no statistically significant difference in the development of moral intelligence at the level of significance (0.05) between the ranks of the control group in the two tests (pre- and post-test).2.There is no statistically significant difference in the development of moral intelligence at the level of significance (0.05) between the ranks of the experimental group in the two tests (pre- and post-test).3.There is no statistically significant difference in the development of moral intelligence at the level of significance (0.05) between the ranks of the experimental group and the average ranks of the control group in the post test.The researcher adopted the experimental design with two equal groups (experimental and control) with (pre and post-test) and the research sample, which was chosen by the intentional method, consisted of (20) female students, with (10) students in the experimental group and (10) students in the control group, and the researcher rewarded them in (Chronological age, intelligence, parents' academic achievement, and pre-test) The researcher also built a moral intelligence scale based on the theory of (Michael Borba), and in its final form it consists of (50) paragraphs formulated in a way that agrees with the students’ reality. By re-testing, the reliability coefficient was (0.90), and it was calculated by the Facronbach equation, and the reliability coefficient was (0.87), It is a high indicator of stability, and the researcher prepared (13) lessons for the educational program, the content of which included the stories and virtues of moral intelligence, and they were presented to the experts and obtained apparent sincerity with an agreement rate of (90%). The average second grade was between low and medium, and both levels needed the educational program’s intervention. The results of the research showed that there is an effect of the educational program in the development of moral intelligence for students of the second intermediate grade and the absence of a statistically significant difference in the development of moral intelligence at the level of significance (0.05) between the ranks of the control group in the two tests (pre and post) and the presence of a statistically significant difference in the development of intelligence The moral at the level (0.05) between the ranks of the experimental group in the two tests (pre and post) in favor of the post test, and there is a statistically significant difference in the development of moral intelligence at the level of significance (0.05) between the ranks of the control group and the average ranks of the experimental group in the (posttest) test in favor of ranks of the experimental group. In light of the results, the researcher made some recommendations and suggestions, including Adopting the measure of moral intelligence in research similar to other samples and Conducting a subsequent empirical study on male students in the middle or middle school and adopting the lessons of the educational program in developing their moral intelligence
