This paper introduces a quantitative research addressed to analyse the relationship between school climate and conflict management strategies. The study was conducted with a sample of 348 students from public schools in Portugal. CTS (Conflict Tactic Scale), the CLES (Questionário do Clima de Escola) and a personal and academic data sheet to study variables such as gender, year of schooling, number of failures, and attendance hours. The results demonstrate that the use of nonviolent tactics (negotiation and discussion) in the interpersonal conflict management with students, impacts positively the school climate. Additionally, the results indicate the existence of statistically significant relationships between sex and nonviolent strategies, between sex and physical violence, between emotional violence and school climate (α = -11; p = .043) and between physical violence and school climate (α= -11; p=.035). The paper also indicates the implications into the school context.
