Islamic boarding schools play a central role in character education and the instillation of religious values in Indonesia. In the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, they hold great potential for integrating religious values with a broader curriculum, producing graduates who are skilled, ethical, and make positive contributions to society.

The steps in the Independent Learning Flow used include: 1) self-awareness, 2) concept exploration, 3) collaborative space, 4) contextual demonstration, 5) understanding elaboration, 6) interconnection of materials, and 7) real action.The results of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum using the Independent Learning Flow demonstrate significant achievements with an implementation percentage of 86.79%. Each step in the flow contributes significantly to the overall implementation, creating a learning environment focused on active student engagement and the application of Merdeka Curriculum principles.
