Abstract
Nurturing character strengths values and gratitude in class rooms is one of the best ways in which we can empower the children to build a strong personality to face the challenges m the outside world and also help in nation building. Many of us are the result of sub-par education systems. Systems that teach us how to get a career and earn a wage – but not how to be truly happy and live a life at our full potential. Efforts have been made m this study to bring out the necessary factors which contribute to a positive school environment, where children grow into their full potential mentally physically and intellectually. An effort was made to collect the data from the views of eminent educationalists, their books, direct interaction with participants etc. A comes to the conclusion that there are certain values that are extremely necessary for life, but which are generally ignored by modern system of education and Positive education is closely linked to character strengths and values, which help the children widen their horizon.
