Previous research has not examined the systematic implementation of Dayak local wisdom in madrasah governance to enhance students' skills and achievements. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively analyze and construct an implementation model for a Dayak local wisdom-based school program at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 1 Kotawaringin. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study gathered data through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed them using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the local wisdom-based program is implemented through extracurricular activities and the Project for Strengthening the Profile of Pancasila Students and Rahmatan Lil Alamin (P5PPRA). Extracurricular activities include traditional Dayak dance, traditional Dayak music, and the Youth Scientific Club (KIR). This study's novelty lies in integrating Dayak local wisdom with scientific thinking by researching Laban wood root (Vitex pinnata L.) as a diabetes treatment, which gained national and international acclaim. Through P5PPRA, students produce processed pineapple products and traditional Dayak handicrafts, strengthening cultural identity, honing creativity, 21st-century skills, critical thinking, and an entrepreneurial mindset, and enhancing students' academic competitiveness. In conclusion, the Dayak local wisdom-based school program successfully integrates cultural preservation, scientific development, and optimization of student achievement. This research contributes to a regional culture-based education model that combines traditional preservation, scientific innovation, and student competitiveness.
