The Complex Adaptive Leadership (CAL) is a type of leadership that seeks to capture the ongoing change processes of schools. This type of leadership entails flexibility, teamwork and the ability to address new problems. Complex Adaptive Leadership leaders consider schools to be systems that are open and complex, bounded by internal and external conditions, promote learning and support creativity. They also engage both the staff and the students in the problem solving process. This kind of leadership helps schools to meet educational needs better and enhances the students’ ability to cope with challenges. Through the focus on student resilience, Complex Adaptive Leadership enhances the students’ capacity to navigate through adversity and fosters both academic success and personal development. At the same time, these leaders foster a school climate that embraces all students and makes them feel that they belong and are useful members of the school. Applying the principles of Complex Adaptive Leadership helps build a strong foundation for the future and enhances unity within the school community, thereby increasing academic achievement. The study explores the part played by complex adaptive school leaders in developing student resilience and the part that their leadership styles play in the development of the school community. Thus, this research suggests that there is need to adopt a wider approach that includes resilience support and ensure that it is incorporated into classroom learning. In this study, Complex Adaptive Leadership is based on theory. The results of the study were discussed in the light of the above framework. The overall goal of this study is to understand how CASLs build resilience among students and staff to enhance the school environment and achievement. Through the application of theoretical frameworks, this work seeks to establish the link between leadership practices in schools and the application of strategies for enhancing student resilience. The model presented in the study indicates that developing a culture of resilience at school, promoting support for teachers, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment, and offering professional development for teachers will help the school to continue to support resilience and student well-being.
