<![CDATA[Although pesantren have long been recognized for fostering religious character, limited research has explained how Islamic values, Salaf scholarship, and nationalism are simultaneously integrated into a coherent educational model for character formation. This study addresses this gap by examining the integration process at Pesantren An-Nawawi Berjan, Purworejo. Employing a qualitative case study, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with kiai, ustaz, administrators, and santri, and document analysis, and were analyzed using an interactive model with triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. The findings reveal that the three value systems are integrated through an interconnected framework comprising curriculum, daily religious practices, Salaf learning traditions (bandongan and sorogan), exemplary leadership of the kiai, pesantren culture, and civic-oriented activities, producing santri who demonstrate strong religiosity, intellectual humility, critical reasoning, moderation, and national commitment. These findings indicate that value integration operates as a holistic educational ecosystem rather than as separate instructional components, extending previous studies that have predominantly examined each dimension independently. Overall, the study demonstrates that sustainable character education in pesantren depends on the dynamic interaction between religious formation, classical Islamic scholarship, and civic engagement. The findings provide a practical framework for strengthening character education in Islamic institutions while contributing a holistic model of value integration that advances contemporary scholarship on Islamic education and pesantren studies.]]>
