Abstract

Happy School as a holistic educational approach, places student happiness as a crucial indicator of school success. Schools function not only as institutions to transfer knowledge, but also as environments that support the development of children's mental, emotional, social and spiritual health. The purpose of the research is to answer the question of why happy schools are necessary. How to create a happy school? The method of this research is library research. This paper presents 20 articles published in Scopus journals related to the theme of Happy Schools (SB). Written sources other than Scopus-indexed journals are also used to complete the writing. The results of the research found that children's happiness is influenced by parents, teachers, staff, and principals so they must treat children with love, have a tolerant and fair school culture, prepare learning and sports facilities, and prepare a curriculum that develops children's emotional, social, and spiritual intelligence. Teachers, staff, and parents must work together in designing a fun school curriculum and program that develops students' soft skills and life skills. The implication of this study is the need for school policies that are orientated towards students' happiness and well-being, not just academic achievement
