This study aims to analyze the value-based character education model in Islamic boarding schools in shaping the discipline and independence of students. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, the research was conducted at the Hidayatul Mubarok Uman Agung Islamic Boarding School, Bandar Mataram District. The research subjects included students, caregivers, and clerics. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that the formation of discipline and independence among students is not only through formal curriculum, but is integrated into all aspects of daily life at the pesantren. Student discipline is formed through strict rules, structured daily routines, and the example set by kyai and caregivers. Meanwhile, independence is developed through communal living practices that require personal responsibility in managing oneself and the environment. This unique blend of spiritual values, governance, and social practices creates an effective synergy in producing students who are not only knowledgeable but also possess strong character, independence, and responsibility.
