The research was of descriptive-correlational design and its statistical population included all school students (male and female) in the fifth and sixth grade of elementary school in Shiraz city in the school year 2017-2018. The research sample was selected through systematic random sampling. The teachers and parents responded to King's Spiritual Intelligence Self Report Inventory (2008) and the student responded to Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire by Paloutzian and Ellison (1991) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (2002).

The results showed that the effect of spiritual intelligence of teachers and parents on students' spiritual well-being was significant.
