This research is motivated by the challenges of salaf Islamic boarding schools in communicating their substantive quality in the midst of the dominance of educational institutions that rely on formal promotion and modernization of the system. The research uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study carried out at the Salafiyah Syafi'iyah Islamic Boarding School Sukorejo Bangorejo Banyuwangi.
