What Top-Performing Schools Are Doing Differently


Leading schools around the world are no longer treating academic success and student well-being as separate.

Many high-performing institutions — including schools such as Eton College, Wellington College, and Phillips Exeter Academy — have embedded structured systems that support both student well-being and performance.

These typically include:

  • Strong pastoral care and house systems
  • On-site counselling and well-being teams
  • Social-emotional learning (SEL) programmes
  • Leadership and character development initiatives

In Canada, leading independent schools such as Upper Canada College and St. Andrew’s College similarly prioritise student well-being alongside academic and leadership excellence.


Why this matters:
These schools consistently produce high-achieving, confident, and resilient students — not just because of academic rigour, but because they actively develop the whole student.


Well-being is no longer a support system — it is a performance strategy used by the world’s leading schools.

This is an evidence based approach based on the SEL (Social and emotional learning) framework.

The Benefits of SEL

SEL leads to improved academic achievement

When students have supportive relationships and opportunities to develop and practice social, emotional, and cognitive skills across many different contexts, academic learning accelerates.

  • Hundreds of studies involving more than 1 million students worldwide offer consistent evidence that SEL has a positive impact on students’ academic achievement.
  • Students participating in SEL at school have higher levels of “school functioning,” as reflected by their grades, test scores, attendance, and homework completion.
  • SEL builds social and emotional skills that increase student engagement and lead to improved academic performance.
  • SEL interventions that addressed the five core competencies increased students’ academic performance by 11 percentile points, compared to students who did not participate.
  • The positive impact on academics lasts long-term: Years after students participated in SEL, their academic performance was an average of 13 percentile points higher than students who didn’t participate.
