Religious diversity needs to be introduced and managed positively from the elementary school level through an inclusive educational environment. This study aims to analyze how religious tolerance is strengthened through inclusive education at SDK Santa Maria Blitar. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, teacher interviews, and documentation and analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that tolerance is fostered through respect for religious identities, freedom to pray according to individual beliefs, inclusive social interactions, collaborative learning, and religious holiday programs. Teachers serve as facilitators and role models in promoting mutual respect and preventing discrimination. Overall, inclusive education through habituation and direct experience strengthens students’ tolerance, empathy, openness, and ability to coexist harmoniously.
