Many Generation Z students are strongly exposed to global culture through social media, which has weakened their orientation towards national values. Although Islamic boarding schools play a central role in character education, research examining how Islamic boarding schools can effectively instill nationalism in Generation Z is still very limited. This study aims to identify the role of the Sunan Bonang Panca Mulya Islamic Boarding School in instilling a spirit of nationalism in Generation Z students and to reveal the challenges faced in the process. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of documents related to national education programs.
