Psychological variables are a key component of the general outcome of students. In this sense, their complementary role in the academic lives of students is not doubtful. Therefore, this study examined the interrelationship among curiosity, creativity, and academic motivation of students in high school. A total of 568 students were surveyed using the correlational design (purposive, simple random, stratified-proportionate, and systematic sampling techniques). Adapted and confirmed curiosity, creativity, and academic motivation scales were used to gather the data for the study. Multiple linear regression was used to test the interrelationships. The study found that curiosity, creativity, and academic motivation predicted among themselves, where curiosity predicted higher, followed by creativity, and academic motivation. In this, curious behaviours, creative abilities, and motivation of students are related. It is recommended among others that the Ghana Education Service, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Curriculum Developers, should harmonise curiosity, creativity, and motivation in the High School syllabus so that teachers can guide students to become curious, creative, and motivated.
