Abstract: The magnitude of environmental degradation currently poses a significant threat to humanity. In response, some elementary schools have adopted the Adiwiyata program, which fosters pro-environmental behaviors. Beyond the preservation of nature, pro-environmental behaviors are pivotal in ensuring the well-being of individuals within their environment. Student wellbeing is a critical component of student development, impacting the optimization of all aspects of development and consequently affecting learning outcomes and student development at school.In light of this, the present study aims to ascertain the effect of pro-environmental behavior on student wellbeing, employing quantitative survey research methods.The study’s sample comprised 100 students in grade 5, and the research data collection technique involved documentation, observation, and questionnaires with a Likert scale. The collected data were then subjected to regression analysis, a statistical method used to study the relationship between variables.The findings of the study indicated a significant influence of pro-environmental behavior on student wellbeing, with an R-squared value of 0.308. This suggests that pro-environmental behavior contributes to 30.8% of the variability in student wellbeing, while the remaining 69.2% is influenced by factors not included in the study or by the term non-determination coefficient. Consequently, enhancing educational quality necessitates not only the improvement of facilities and infrastructure, but also the promotion of student welfare and environmental stewardship. This entails empowering students to transition from passive recipients of education to active participants in the educational process, thereby facilitating optimal learning conditions and attaining achievements that will redound to their benefit, particularly from the elementary school level onward. Future research should explore other aspects, such as economic status and community influence.
