This study aims to analyze differences in existential intelligence and pro-environmental behavior of students in Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata schools. The article describes a new idea of predicting pro-environmental behavior based on existential intelligence among high school students at Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata schools. This idea allows us to determine the differences in pro-environmental behavior between adiwiyata and non-adiwiyata schools. A total of 1,539 respondents participated in April-June 2021, consisting of students of Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata high schools in Semarang. The data were analyzed using Mann Withney Statistic Non-Parametric method. The new method effectiveness evaluation is confirmed by the calculation hypothesis testing using non-parametric statistics with the Mann-Whitney test. If significance (Sig.) 0.05, then the hypothesis is not supported empirically. The results show that the existential intelligence of students in Adiwiyata schools is higher than the ones in non-Adiwiyata schools. Further, the pro-environmental behavior of students in Adiwiyata schools is also higher than the ones in non-Adiwiyata schools, confirming the differences in pro-environmental behavior of Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata schools through existential intelligence contribute to scientific novelty in this study. Increasing pro-environmental behavior can be done by increasing existential intelligence.
