This study aimed to examine if the dimensions of school attachment are predictors of Internet addiction among high school students in Kosovo. Methods: The data were gained from a research population of adolescents aged 15–19 years attending secondary schools in Kosovo. The whole sample consists of 525 students; 310 (59%) of them were female, and 215 (41%) were male, respectively 214 (40.8%) were students attending the tenth grade, 189 (36%) were in the eleventh grade and 122 (23.2%) were in the twelfth grade. Data were collected via a survey with paper-pencil questionnaires from 6 different secondary schools in 4 different cities in Kosovo. In the data analyses, percentage, arithmetic mean, t-test for independent groups, one-way variance, correlation, and regression analysis were performed. Results: The results of the study show that some of the dimensions of school attachment are predictors of Internet addiction, such as feelings about school (ß=-.306, p<.001), attitudes toward students (ß=.150, p<.01), and student's perception of school (ß=-.143, p<.001). However, two dimensions have not shown a significant impact on internet addiction: interest in learning (ß=0.018, p>0.05) and attitudes toward teachers (ß=-0.02, p>0.05). Conclusion: Based on the study findings, it can be concluded that the stronger attachment to school is, the lower level of internet addiction is, and vice versa.
