Every child is gifted by different intelligence. The intelligence possessed by children could experience a change due to their environment. Thus, this research was conducted to find out the effects of the environment on multiple intelligence of children. The sample of this study were 44 students of Islamic School (MI) of Al-Inayah Pasar Rebo, Jakarta Timur, Indonesia. The data were collected twice; in year 2018, when these students were on their first grade and in the year 2019, when they were on their second grade, through the instrument of multiple intelligence, comprising 8 intelligence, and among them were linguistic, logical-mathematical, kinesthetic, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. This instrument had been confirmed as valid and reliable. The results of the research found that there were certain intelligence differences on kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, and musical, caused by the environment of the class. This classroom environment had several components, i.e. teachers, learning methods, facilities, and seats arrangement.
