Abstract: It is well recognized that course burden has a detrimental effect on student's school life satisfaction, but little is known about the possible moderating mechanisms underlying this relation. Within the framework of development system theories, the present study constructed a multilevel moderated model to examine the effect of school atmosphere on the relationship between course burden and school life satisfaction. A total of 20155 students from fifth and eighth grade were investigated in this study. The present study integrated students' perception of the relationship between teachers and students with principal's perception of students' morale, teachers' morale, students' negative behavior, and teachers' negative state together to evaluate school atmosphere. The results showed that:(1) course burden had a significant negative impact on students' school life satisfaction; (2) this negative impact was attenuated by students' positive perception of the relationship between teacher and students and the principal's perception of students' morale. This research contributed to the study of how to improve the students' school life satisfaction.

Key words: course burden, students' school life satisfaction, school atmosphere, moderating effect, primary and secondary school students
