Positive psychology applied to education is concerned with the optimal development of school children, based on scientific evidence that corroborates the role of positive emotions in psychological well-being. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to reflect on the interaction of two categories such as coexistence and well-being, based on various empirical studies that make it possible to improve learning, the system of relationships, school coexistence and health. The constructs of positive conscious coexistence are developed from a comparative perspective, as well as the theoretical aspects of Psychological Well-being, Virtues and Strengths of Character, traditions that address them and forms of evaluation. Under this framework, the role of the current school in intentional socialization actions that allow them to acquire the basic psychosocial skills or abilities to generate processes of well-being and healthy coexistence are analyzed, without leaving aside the learning proposed by the education system, proposing models to develop positive activities for the well-being. It is concluded that positive education must generate a conscious coexistence free of violence, based on the needs and interests of schoolchildren, based on respect, equality, dignity, rights and duties.

Palabras clave : Well-being; coexistence; positive education; school.
