Summary/Abstract: The voice of children, the voice of teachers, the voice of parents can be primary sources for analyzing the existing models of happiness in school, as well as directions to investigate in order to build positive interventions in the educational environment since primary school. Happiness courses can be successfully taught in primary school, in the form of a happiness hour, but the design of classes in all disciplines can integrate the principles of happiness. In this way, the quality of school life increases: a deep, meaningful learning, simultaneously supported by the dimensions of happiness, as well as self-awareness, understanding the notions of "happy brain", "happy body", "happy teacher", "happiness teacher", "happiness at school". The benefits of happiness in the school environment attest to the impact of a pedagogy of happiness from an early age.
