This study aims to find a character-building model to foster a spirit of religious tolerance. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews and documentation. Based on the analysis, it was found that some students blame the teachings/practices of fellow Muslims, while others are reluctant to wish other religions a happy holiday. The character-building efforts conducted by PAI teachers have successfully instilled in students the habit of respecting one another and members of other religious communities. This demonstrates that the character-building model, which involves consistent practice and routine activities, produces positive character traits. It is hoped that this will transform differences into strengths between teachers and students, as well as among students themselves, thereby fostering strong tolerance.
