Family communication has significantly impacted children’s well-being and potentially affects their academic outcomes. This study examined the mediating role of school belonging and meaningful school experiences in the relationships between family communication and subjective well being in students. The study utilised an online survey with a cross-sectional research design involving 427 (Mage = 12.00; SD = 0.85) full-time secondary school students (55.3% girls) in Turkey. Findings revealed that family communication had a direct positive effect on school belonging and meaningful school experiences. School belonging and meaningful school experiences had direct positive effects on students’ subjective well-being. Furthermore, the results showed that school belonging and meaningful school experiences mediated the relationship between family communication and students’ subjective well-being. This suggests the need for interventions that promote school belonging and meaningful school experiences to support students’ well-being and academic success throughout their educational lives.
