Abstract

: This study examines the role of school–family partnership in strengthening students’ character through the Seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children Program (7KAIH) at SDN Ungaran 01, Indonesia. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving the principal, teachers, students, school committee members, and parents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed four key dimensions of school–family partnership: parental engagement, school–family communication and coordination, continuity of character habituation between school and home, and collaborative monitoring for sustaining character development. The partnership strengthened students’ discipline, religiosity, responsibility, independence, cooperation, and social awareness by extending school-based habituation into family routines. However, differences in family routines and digital device use challenged consistent habituation. The study concludes that sustainable character development requires reciprocal communication, shared responsibility, and continuous collaboration between schools and families.
