<![CDATA[Improving the quality of education is not only determined by academic achievement, but also by the ability of education to integrate social values that exist in society into the school curriculum. Integrating the school curriculum and social values is an important strategy in shaping students' character and creating contextual and meaningful learning. This study aims to describe the integration of the school curriculum and social values as an effort to improve the quality of education. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research subjects included school principals, teachers, community leaders, and parents of students involved in the educational process. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively using an interactive analysis model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the integration of social values, such as mutual cooperation, tolerance, honesty, responsibility, and social awareness, into the school curriculum has a positive impact on improving the quality of education. This integration strengthens character education, increases the relevance of learning, and creates a conducive school climate. In addition, the collaborative involvement of educators and the community is a key factor in the successful and sustainable integration of the curriculum and social values.]]>
