National education focuses on cultural assimilation. Cultural elevation improves schooling. Lack of cultural integration in school can alienate students and erode cultural identity. This study examines whether school culture improves character education. We also want to identify barriers and enablers to these methods and study their results. SDN Al-Anwar in Pasuruan City's Panggungrejo District was the site of this 2023–2024 study. Interviews, observation, and document analysis are used to acquire accurate data. For data analysis, we used descriptive and qualitative methods. Summary of findings: Creating a school brand, following rules, including stakeholders, cultivating positive habits, providing a good example, increasing literacy, and supporting extracurricular activities can improve character education in schools. The difficulty of measuring character value embedding, the inconsistency between habit formation and example character values in schools, and teachers' capacity to inspire, motivate, and lead students are all factors that complicate character education. home customs and role models. Parents' dedication, teachers' morality, academic progress tracking, and teachers' and students' character education are crucial.
