The article reflects the socio-pedagogical dimension of the problem of psychosocial wellbeing of schoolchildren, including a group of socio-economic, cultural and psychological factors. It presents the materials of sociological research of the problem, carried out at the example of the school community in Finland, Norway and Russia within the international scientific and research project "ArctiChildren InNet: Empowering School e-Health Model in the Barents region", the regional coordinator of which is Murmansk State Humanities University. Authors analyze different components of psychosocial health of schoolchildren aged 11 to 17 years living in conditions of the Arctic North. Data is identified on the basis of the study of adolescent lifestyles, their value orientations, worldview and relationship to the phenomena of social reality, and analyzed by the authors in a comparative perspective. Researchers paid attention to those characteristics that can be used to assess the level of health of a young person: sports and physical exercise, social relations, sleep and rest, use of the Internet, schooling and others. Results of international research presented in this article are fundamental to the practical result of the scientific and research project - the creation of a virtual space for communication between schoolchildren and experts in the field of psychosocial health and wellbeing.
