<![CDATA[This study was conducted as a preventive response to various negative issues currently associated with Islamic educational institutions, particularly pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). These issues range from allegations that pesantren serve as breeding grounds for radicalism to concerns regarding violence manifested through bullying and other forms of deviant behavior. This research employed a qualitative case study approach to provide an in-depth, contextual, and holistic understanding of the complex social phenomena occurring within pesantren. The findings reveal that the formation of civic virtue in pesantren is implemented through various educational practices, including fostering multicultural understanding, cultivating positive attitudes, promoting ethical social interactions, teaching respect for religious scholars, developing courtesy toward elders and knowledgeable individuals, strengthening religious faith, and nurturing unity, solidarity, and strong familial bonds among students. These values are reflected across the dimensions of civic knowledge, civic disposition, and civic skills. The study demonstrates that pesantren function as essential moral institutions that contribute significantly to the character development of the younger generation. Furthermore, pesantren play a strategic role in mediating educational processes by integrating religious knowledge with general education and digital literacy, thereby preparing students to become responsible digital citizens in the era of digital transformation]]>
