<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the differences in educational policies between Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah Islamic boarding schools as two models of Islamic education in Indonesia. A qualitative approach was used with literature study and in-depth interviews with educational figures from both institutions. The results show that NU emphasizes education based on classical Islamic texts, traditional approaches, and teacher-student relationships with a strong sufistic spirit. Meanwhile, Muhammadiyah is oriented towards a modern educational system, integrating religious and general sciences, and implementing education management according to a modern organization. Furthermore, the curriculum policies, teaching methods, and educational goals of the two institutions reflect different orientations; in which NU is more likely to focus on the formation of religious character through the mastery of classical Islamic knowledge, Muhammadiyah emphasizes the development of Muslim intellectual leaders who are adaptive to the times. The findings confirm the importance of understanding various approaches in Islamic education as a national education heritage.]]>
