<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the core character values and formation strategies implemented by dzuriyah (descendants of the founders) in shaping the character of santri ndalem (resident student-assistants) at Pondok Pesantren Lirboyo HM Al-Mahrusiyah. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that key character values instilled include tafaqquh fi ad-din (deep religious understanding), honesty, responsibility, discipline, and independence. These values are internalized through daily acts of service, emotional closeness, and consistent spiritual practice. The character-building strategies consist of habitual training, role modeling, situational advice, and spiritual reinforcement through prayer. The relationship between dzuriyah and santri ndalem resembles a familial bond that fosters a holistic and humanistic learning environment. Challenges include role conflict between academic obligations and service duties, as well as cultural diversity among students. Despite its single-site limitation, this study contributes conceptually to the development of community-based and spiritually grounded character education in Islamic boarding schools, aligning with Global Citizenship Education values of empathy, tolerance, and moral responsibility.]]>
