Positive Education is an approach to education that combines traditional academic instruction with the principles and practices of positive psychology. It aims to foster the holistic development of students by focusing not only on their academic achievements but also on their overall well-being and positive mental health outcomes.
 
Positive Education goes beyond the traditional focus on discipline, grades, and academic performance. It recognizes the importance of nurturing students’ character strengths, emotional intelligence, resilience, and social skills. The goal is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, both in and outside of the classroom.

In Positive Education, schools incorporate evidence-based strategies and interventions derived from positive psychology research. These may include promoting gratitude, cultivating optimism, teaching mindfulness, encouraging acts of kindness, developing self-awareness and self-regulation, fostering positive relationships, and emphasizing personal strengths.
 
By integrating positive psychology principles into the educational environment, Positive Education seeks to create a supportive and flourishing school culture that enhances the well-being of students, teachers, and the entire school community. It acknowledges that academic success is just one aspect of a student’s overall growth and recognizes the importance of nurturing their emotional and psychological well-being to thrive in all areas of life.
