In this study, the research method is descriptive of correlation and structural equations and the statistical population of the study includes all high school students in Kerman who were 7370 in the academic year 1399-99 and the research sample was estimated 380 people according to the multi-stage cluster sampling method. In this sampling method, a sample will be selected; which is probable and each sampling unit is a set or group of members. Data were collected through school adaptation questionnaires (Sinha and Singh, 1993), academic achievement (Salehi, 2014), Islamic lifestyle (Kaviani, 2009) and Western lifestyle (LSQ) (Lali, Abedi and Kajbaf, 2012), and The structural equation model was analyzed by correlation method using AMOS23 software and bootstrap technique. Results showed that the model has a good fit with regard to fitness indicators. The direct effect of school adjustment on academic achievement (0.43), on Islamic lifestyle (0.56) and on Western lifestyle (0.24) was significant. The direct effect of Islamic lifestyle on Western lifestyle (0.65) was significant on academic achievement (0.16) and the direct effect of Western lifestyle on Islamic lifestyle (-0.19) was on academic success (-0.19) was also significant. Also, the indirect effect of school adaptation on academic achievement mediated by Islamic lifestyle and Western lifestyle (0.18) was significant. Therefore, effective steps can be taken to improve academic achievement by guiding and guiding students in acquiring adaptation skills and teaching them a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating the concept of lifestyle improvement into the school curriculum helps students to play an effective role in the development of their community.
