Abstract :

This article examines how the values of Islamic modern boarding schools are integrated into the curriculum of Kulliyyatu-l-Mu’allimāt al-Islāmiyah (KMI) for female students at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putri, as well as how these strategies shape the character of students. Values such as sincerity, simplicity, independence, Islamic ukhuwah, and freedom are used as the foundation of education that is integrated in the formal learning process and the life of a 24-hour Islamic boarding school. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature studies and data validation through source triangulation.

The results of the study show that the KMI curriculum for female students at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putri is designed as an integrated curriculum that proportionately combines religious and general lessons, and is implemented through active learning strategies, direct methods, strict supervision, and character strengthening via teacher examples.

The integration of modern boarding school values is not only part of the academic structure but also transforms into a character education system that shapes students into tough, intelligent, and noble individuals.
