<![CDATA[The rising incidence of bullying in education has become a critical concern, causing psychological stress, trauma, and even loss of life. Educational institutions, which should be safe, supportive learning spaces, often become intimidating environments. This challenge is also faced by Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), which must address both verbal and non-verbal bullying. Darul Ihsan Islamic Boarding School in Menganti, Gresik, consistently fosters students’ humanistic character through the values of Pancajiwa pesantren: sincerity, simplicity, independence, religious brotherhood (ukhuwah diniyah), and togetherness. These values are integrated into learning, guidance, and everyday interactions. This study employs Johan Galtung’s peace education framework, including negative peace, positive peace, and the three approaches of peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peacebuilding. Using a qualitative case study method (Yin), the study obtained data from caretakers, administrators, educators, and students through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis followed Yin’s strategies: pattern matching, explanation building, time series analysis, and repeated observation. The findings show that peace education at Darul Ihsan is realized through daily internalization of Pancajiwa values, educator role modeling, direct mentoring, and fostering a culture of peace through collective activities and deliberation. Despite challenges such as students’ diverse backgrounds, the strong pesantren culture and exemplary leadership ensure effective implementation. The study contributes theoretically by integrating Galtung’s framework with the spiritual-transcendental dimension of Pancajiwa pesantren, offering a pesantren-based peace education model rooted in local wisdom to prevent bullying.]]>
