Abstract
This study examines how schools strategically manage culture—beyond routine practices—to internalize noble values and consistently enhance the quality of learning amid modern challenges. Using a descriptive qualitative approach (observation, in-depth interviews, documentation), it analyzes planning, implementation, and evaluation of school culture grounded in Achmad Sanusi’s six-dimensional value system (theological, ethical-legal, aesthetic, logical-rational, physical-physiological, and teleological). Findings show that effective culture management makes this value system a reference for individual and organizational attitudes, mindsets, and actions: theological values foster spiritual motivation; ethical-legal values build discipline and confidence; logical-rational and teleological values improve management quality, work performance, school effectiveness, and accountability. The study concludes that school culture management, rooted in a comprehensive value foundation, creates a conducive environment for the sustainable realization of the educational vision and mission.
