This quantitative study aimedto determine the correlation between senior high school Grade 12 students’ perception of school climate and compliance with school classroom normsin a private university in Manila, Philippines. A sample of 249 Grade 12 respondents who were randomly selected answered the online self-administered questionnaire composed of modified scales to explore the two variables, with Cronbach tests exhibiting an acceptable level of internal consistency (perceptions school climate = 0.88, compliance of classroom norms = 0.86). The study found apositive perceptionof school cli-mate (M= 4.19, SD = 0.40)and a very high level of classroom norm compliance (M= 3.40, SD = 0.32) among the respondents. The Pearson R test revealed a significant moderate positive correlation between their perception of school climateand their level of school classroom norm compliance and (r = 0.554, p< 0.001). This implies that their compliance or adherence to school classroom norms increases as their perception of school climate positively increases.
