<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze and evaluate the micro-resilience strategies implemented by MA Ibnu Khaldun Toili to overcome limitations regarding subject-specialized educators and physical learning facilities in a rural area. A descriptive-reflective qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through participant observation and document analysis, utilizing the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that the madrasa successfully maintained instructional effectiveness and achieved a 100% graduation rate through three internal adaptation strategies: optimizing multi-subject teaching via a peer-mentoring system to address the shortage of civil servant teachers; modifying the curriculum by substituting physical laboratories with Toili’s open natural environment as a contextual learning space, which reduced student learning anxiety; and mobilizing self-funded resources through community-based tactical partnerships with the school committee, alumni, and local private entities to cover operational deficits. This organizational resilience was driven by the conversion of religious social capital into robust organizational citizenship behavior. The study contributes theoretical insights into micro-level educational resilience in rural settings—an area previously dominated by top-down macro approaches—and provides a practical blueprint for autonomous crisis management that can be replicated by other marginalized schools facing similar resource deprivation.]]>
