This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involves teachers, principals, and students as research subjects. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation studies.

Teachers play an important role in conveying moderation values such as tolerance, balance, and respect for differences. Although this program has a positive impact on the formation of student character, there are challenges in the form of teachers' lack of understanding of the concept of religious moderation and resistance from some parents.
