This paper aims to reveal students' pro-environmental behavior in a High School. Self-reported behavior assessment was administered in this study involving students with age range 15 to 18 years. Pro-environmental behavior in this study comprises six domains. Those are recycling, waste avoidance, consumerism, energy conservation, mobility and transportation, and vicarious conservation behavior. Pro-environmental behavior (PEB) of science class students was compared to behavior of non-science class students. Effect of students' grade level and extracurricular activity on the behavior was evaluated. Study revealed that science could improve students' PEB. It is because environmental topics are covered in science class. Student's involvement in extracurricular activity may enhance PEB as well. In conclusion, students' PEB is influenced by class program (science or non-science) but it is not influenced by time length in learning science. This finding could be consider by science educator in choosing strategy to enhance student's pro-environmental behaviour. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
