In this research, the method used by the researcher is part of field research and uses a phenomenology perspective. The result of this research is that educational institutions have an essential role in breaking the chain of radicalism, as Nahdlatul Ulama educational institutions did with their aswaja values and Muhammadiyah with their al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan values.
