Religious-based character education is considered important as a foundation for forming a generation that is not only academically intelligent, but also has good morals and ethics. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of IPS teachers, students, and principals at MTs Negeri 1 Ternate. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of religious-based character education in IPS subjects at MTs Negeri 1 Ternate has been going well, although there are several challenges, such as limited time and resources.
