The basic aim of this paper is to gain insight into the individual resilience of high school students from the city of Zagreb and their relation with school. Specific objectives of this research are to determine the differences in individual resilience with respect to some demographic characteristics of adolescents (gender and age) and their relation to school (school commitment and school engagement). The survey was conducted during April 2017 on a sample of 220 students in two secondary vocational high schools and one gymnasium in the city of Zagreb. The sample consisted of 90 students from Graphic School for Media production and Design, 41 students from the Veterinary high school and 89 students from the First Gymnasium. The survey was conducted in the framework of the pilot project "The positive development of adolescents from City of Zagreb: state of the art" in the Department of Behavioural Disorders, on the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences. For the purposes of this project, an instrument has been created consisting of several different scales and additional questions which collected socio-demographic data on participants in research. For purposes of this study, in order to gain the information needed to accomplish the objective and in order to answer to the research, out of whole instrument, these questionnaire and scales were taken into account: (1) General information on the research participants (created for the purpose of this project), (2) Questionnaire of Individual Resilience (California Healthy Kids Survey, Supplemental Resilience and Youth Development Modules, 2007) and (3) Scale of Relation with School (Roviš, Bezinović, 2011). The paper-pencil method was used in the research and participation in the research was anonymous, as well as in the line with other relevant ethical principles in the field. The results showed that on the scale of individual resilience the participants achieved a high average score, while on the Scale of Relation with School – subscale school commitment the participants achieved low average score, as well as on the second subscale – school engagement which shows they are not relatively high attached on the given scale. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in individual resilience with respect to the gender of the participant. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between the individual resilience of the participants with respect to the age of the participants. In terms of correlations, the obtained results showed a statistically significant positive correlation between individual participants' resilience and school success rates (r=0,14, p=0,04) and between individual resilience and 2 subscales - school commitment (r=0,27, p=0,00) and school engagement (r=0,37, p = 0,00).
