Background and Purpose: Due to the importance of children's and adolescents' quality of school life, the World Health Organization has raised the issue concerning the necessity of improving the quality of school life, which includes the students' welfare and their satisfaction with positive experiences in school activities. Therefore, present research aimed to investigate the role of social skills in predicting the sense of coherence and quality of school life in grade 6 students in Tabadkan district.  
Method: This research was a descriptive-correlational study. The study population included all the male and female grade 6 primary school students in Tabadkan during the academic year 2018-2019. A sample of 384 students was selected by convenience sampling. Social Skills Questionnaire (Keramati, 2007), Sense of Coherence Scale (Antonovsky, 1993), and Quality of School Life Scale (Ainley & Bourke, 1989) were used to collect the data. Pearson regression coefficient and simultaneous multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data with SPSS 22.
Results: Data analysis showed that there was significant positive relationship between sense of coherence and quality of school life (P <0.001). Also, dimensions of social skill explained 21.4 % of sense of coherence and 17.4 % of quality of school life (P <0.001).
Conclusion: Results of this study showed that improving the social skills can increase the student's sense of coherence and quality of school life. Implications of results are discussed in the article. 
Keywords: Social skills, sense of coherence, quality of school life
