<![CDATA[Pesantren-based higher education faces the challenge of integrating traditional values into a modern curriculum without losing the essence of character building. This research aims to analyze the model of integration of pesantren values in the Islamic Religious Education curriculum, its impact on the formation of student character, and the role of the community in supporting its implementation. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews with lecturers, study program managers, and dormitory caregivers, participatory observation of the learning process and student activities, and analysis of curriculum documents and campus regulations at STAI Al Anwar Sarang. The results of the study show that the integration of pesantren values is carried out through a holistic approach that combines curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities, with typical learning methods such as sorogan, bandongan, and halaqah as well as the role model of lecturers as the main instruments. This integration has a significant impact on the formation of student character, which is reflected in the strengthening of discipline, responsibility, social ethics, and spirituality. The surrounding community plays a strategic role through participation in religious activities and informal social supervision, although this involvement is still sporadic and institutionally unmanaged. This study recommends strengthening the value integration evaluation system, fostering sustainable lecturers, and developing institutional partnerships with the community to optimize pesantren-based character education.]]>
