Creating a positive school climate is a real challenge in today’s school management. Meanwhile, a positive conducive school climate will contribute to improving school performance. This paper aims to look at the contribution of teacher leadership and professionalism to the school organizational climate. The method used in this study is quantitative, while the data instrument is collected by distributing questionnaires. The study involved 155 teachers spread over three public madrasas in Medan city. The study results show that teacher professionalism has a more discernible impact on efforts to establish a conducive school organizational climate. The originality demonstrated by this study is that the contribution of leadership is no longer a determinant in the organizational climate of schools. This study offers to strengthen teacher professionalism as an effort.
