The relationships between well-being and academic achievement is an important issue. Many studies on academic achievement focused on factors related to student characteristics and ignored the notion of well-being. In this study based on the positive psychology theory, we ranked the academic achievement and well-being in 56 countries, and also investigated the subjective and objective well-being impact factors in academic achievement (mathematics, science, and reading achievement) in 56 countries, using data collected from UNDP (2014) ＂Human development report.＂ The results were as follows. First, on the top five ranking of the academic achievement were Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Finland. Second, the high subjective well-being countries did not always reach a higher academic achievement, and there was a positively significant relationship between the safety perceptions of individual well-being, the objective wellbeing and academic achievement, especially in the ratio of unemployment and the Gender Inequality Index. It implied that these were significant factor in the academic achievement. That is, the higher the ratio of unemployment and Gender Inequality Index that a nation has, the more negative effects the nation has on the academic achievement. Moreover, subjective well-being partly enhanced the academic achievement.
