The aim of human flourishing can be assessed in educational institutions with the Human Flourishing Measure. Educational institutions could more effectively promote human flourishing, especially the formation of character and the virtues, with concepts that correspond to the five domains of human flourishing and deepen their understanding and practice. These concepts are moral sources and culture (for the domain of happiness and life satisfaction), anthropology (for the domain of physical and mental health), agency and motivation (meaning and purpose), performance and context (character and virtue), and love and pedagogy (close social relationship). In view of the diversity of educational settings in the UK and USA, each concept is elaborated in thick and thin versions to guide evaluation and implementation.
