Abstract: Social Science Education, this study investigates how the school’s social environment shapes student character amid a moral crisis, focusing on Madrasah Aliyah Almaarif Singosari. As globalization and technological shifts influence youth behavior, schools play a vital role as moral anchors. Using a qualitative field study approach, data were gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation involving key school stakeholders. The findings show that a religious, inclusive atmosphere—supported by strong interpersonal interactions—greatly supports character formation. The An-Nahdliyah model, rooted in tawassuth (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), and i’tidal (justice), is integrated through worship, teacher example, extracurriculars, and pesantren-based culture. This study affirms the strategic role of schools in building student integrity and resilience in facing modern challenges.
