This study explores the implementation and challenges of character education at SMAN 1 Anjir Muara, a senior high school in Indonesia. Character education is integrated into the learning process, school culture, and extracurricular activities. The learning process involves embedding character values in lesson plans and teaching methods. School culture includes routine, spontaneous, and exemplary activities that promote positive behaviors. Extracurricular activities such as scouting, student council, and PMR (Youth Red Cross) also contribute to character development. The study found that character education at SMAN 1 Anjir Muara is implemented through these methods, aiming to instill values such as respect, honesty, discipline, and social responsibility. However, the study also identified obstacles, including family environment factors and technological influences that may hinder the effectiveness of character education. Family background and economic conditions often limit the ability of students to internalize character values, while technology, particularly mobile phones, can distract students from developing good character. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between schools and families to ensure effective character education. The findings suggest that character education should focus on habituating good behavior rather than just teaching right and wrong. The study concludes that character education is essential for developing well-rounded individuals and that schools must work with families to support this process.This study explores the implementation and challenges of character education at SMAN 1 Anjir Muara, a senior high school in Indonesia.
