<![CDATA[Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are crucial in cultivating the character of youth, especially in imparting virtues such as discipline and religiosity. Thursina International Islamic Boarding School (IIBS) Malang implements a systematic approach of rewards and penalties to foster these characteristics in pupils. This study examines the conception, execution, and assessment of the reward and punishment system at Thursina IIBS in cultivating students' disciplinary and religious character. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology with a case study framework, data were gathered via interviews, observations, and documentation. Research indicates that the institution utilizes a merit-demerit point system developed in collaboration by the educational and character development departments. The system is embedded in daily activities, supported by digital platforms and tangible resources including banners, Smart TVs, and visual cues. Consistent character assessment via musyawarah asatidz and Tazkiyatun Nafs initiatives further augments student growth. The study finds that the system promotes consistent and sustainable character development through a balanced integration of technical, spiritual, and educational experiences.]]>
