<![CDATA[Background: Fostering religious moderation in youth is crucial for building tolerance and peace, with Islamic senior high schools playing a key role in shaping balanced religious values to prevent radicalism and promote unity. Objective: This study aims to examine the implementation of religious moderation values among Islamic senior high school students. Method: This research employs a field research approach using a qualitative descriptive method. The study was conducted at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Mubtadiin in 2022. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis process consisted of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and verification. Data validity was ensured through triangulation. Results: The findings indicate that the implementation of religious moderation values among students at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Mubtadiin is well-executed and has become a flagship program in the school. Conclusion: The successful application of religious moderation values contributes to shaping students into a moderate generation with a strong sense of nationalism, high tolerance, and a rejection of violence. Originality/Value: This study offers novel conceptual and policy insights to the fields of peace studies and religious public policy by uncovering the operational mechanisms of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in operationalizing theological moderation into a cultural conflict resolution framework for de escalating radicalism and fostering interfaith dialogue within pluralistic Indonesia, representing a policy nexus often fragmented in previous theoretical literature. These findings enrich conceptual frameworks on faith-based peacebuilding and provide a strategic blueprint for refining the national religious moderation roadmap, structuring institutional interfaith dialogue programs, and developing cohesive state level deradicalization policies.]]>
