SPIRITUAL HARMONY: NURTURING STUDENT WELL-BEING IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
Abstract
These articles explore the integration of spiritual well-being into the fabric of school communities. This paper examines various strategies and practices aimed at fostering a holistic approach to student development, encompassing not only academic achievement but also emotional, social, and spiritual growth. Through a combination of research insights and practical examples, it highlights the importance of cultivating a supportive environment that nurtures students' inner selves, enhances their sense of purpose and meaning, and promotes overall well-being. By prioritizing spiritual harmony alongside academic success, schools can create a more enriching and fulfilling educational experience for their students.
