This study examines how the Nahdlatul Ulama Student Association (IPNU) fosters moderate Islamic values among students in a rural Islamic high school in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study conducted over three months, the research collected data through interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings demonstrate that values such as balance (tawāsuṭ), justice (i’tidāl), and tolerance (tasāmuh) are internalized through structured cadre training (MAKESTA), community engagement, and cultural activities. These processes foster civic responsibility, discipline, and inclusive religious identity. The study proposes a bottom-up model of religious education that emphasizes student agency, contextual learning, and grassroots Islamic pedagogy. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
