This study's population were students from nature schools in Bandung and students from Sukajadi 9 Elementary School in Bandung. In this study, the researcher used purposive sampling to take samples with certain criteria and considerations, namely class VI, which had 15 people from nature schools, and class VI, which had 15 students from regular schools. The results of this study used hypothesis testing calculations using the t-test with one shoot design. Based on the hypothesis test results, there were significant differences between academic achievement, physical fitness, learning motivation, and motor skills in nature schools and regular schools.
