<![CDATA[In the midst of global moral decadence and the digital crisis affecting youth, the integration of religious values within public education has become a critical pedagogical imperative. This study investigates the processes, strategies, and impacts of internalizing Islamic values through school culture at SMP Negeri 3 Cianjur and SMP Negeri 4 Cianjur, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach with a descriptive-narrative design, data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The study analyzes how these public institutions transcend secular limitations by embedding religious praxis into the hidden curriculum. The findings reveal a multi-layered internalization strategy: (1) Uswah Hasanah (exemplary role modeling) by educators; (2) Structural habituation of rituals (congregational prayers, Quranic literacy); and (3) Environmental conditioning through Islamic-based regulations.
