Religious moderation is an important global issue in responding to the challenges of modern life, such as radicalism and intolerance. The integration of IMTAQ (Faith and Piety)–based biology learning is viewed as a strategic approach to strengthening religious moderation at the senior high school level. This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic values in IMTAQ-based biology learning and its contribution to strengthening students’ religious moderation in public senior high schools across Palembang City. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design, involving 12  senior high schools and 270 students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, analyses of instructional materials, and surveys. The results indicate comprehensive implementation, good to excellent learning quality, and positive student responses. IMTAQ-based biology learning has proven effective in supporting the strengthening of religious moderation through a holistic, inclusive, and meaningful approach.
