The absence of divorce history and separation in the family; 4. Failure to learn learning disorders; It should be noted that the student was trained in two groups for one semester (one group of traditional methods and another in intelligent schools). The measure of the Torrance creativity test measures measurements of creativity in 4 dimensions, fluidity, flexibility, inventiveness and expansion. Validity and reliability of the test were confirmed both in previous studies and in this research. The results showed that school intelligence has a positive and significant effect on students 'creativity. There is a significant difference between the students' creativity scores, taking into account the control and moderation variables of the pre-test scores in the two groups. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive program for the introduction of information technology into schools and their intelligence in order to promote the creativity of students.
