Positive Education has been defined as the development of educational environments that enable the learner to engage in established curricula, in addition to knowledge and skills to develop their own and others’ well-being.

Across the globe educators, parents and citizens are asking how we can best prepare our youth for successful adulthood in the twenty-first century. Whilst this has been an age-old question, given the alarming increases in mental illness, youth suicide and societal breakdown, the need has become even greater for learning experiences that allow youth to flourish, lead purposeful lives and contribute to society as virtuous citizens. Schools are now seen as institutions whose role extends beyond academic competence in preparing the whole child (Huitt, 2010).

Positive Education (or applied Positive Psychology in education) can inform and affect all levels of education including students, teachers, staff, parents, the whole school, and the community. It can also play a crucial preventative role in reducing depression, anxiety and stress within the school environment.
