The statistical population contains 1152 talented high school students of Borujerd and Khorramabad. According to cluster-based Morgan sampling, 288 students (144 boys and 144 girls) were selected as the samples of the study. The tools for gathering data were a standard questionnaire of creativity (with 89.47% reliability), a standard questionnaire of classroom (with 90.30% reliability), and a school climate questionnaire (with 91% reliability). Based on the results, all hypotheses were confirmed. The results showed that the above-average population studied creativity of the students and their attitudes toward class and learning environment is desirable and the creativity of female students was more than male students.
