<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of character education based on religious school culture in Integrated Islamic Elementary Schools (Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu/SDIT) in Pekanbaru City. The study employed a qualitative case study approach involving school principals, vice principals, teachers, parents, and students. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that character education is systematically implemented through strategic planning, Islamic values integration into the curriculum, religious habituation, teacher role modeling, classroom instruction, and extracurricular activities. Character development is evaluated through behavioral observations, reflective journals, attitude assessments, and collaboration with parents. Implementation is supported by visionary leadership, a strong religious school culture, committed teachers, and active parental involvement. However, digital media influence and inconsistencies in family parenting practices remain significant challenges. The study proposes an integrative model emphasizing synergy among school leadership, organizational culture, curriculum integration, religious habituation, and family engagement.]]>
