Al-Qur’an-Based Integrated Education and Military-Style Training We integrate Quran memorization (tahfidz), the national curriculum, and cadet-style physical and mental training into a single, structured boarding school system. This approach equips students with strong faith, academic proficiency, and physical and mental resilience to advance to the next level of education.
High-quality tahfidz education to produce Al-Qur'an memorizers who understand and apply its values in their daily lives. The goal is to memorize 6 juz over the course of 3 years of education.
Innovative, technology-based instruction based on the national curriculum, so that graduates are competitive at the next level of education, including being prepared to gain admission to top high schools in Indonesia.
Military-style physical training designed to instill discipline, independence, and leadership, and to build mental resilience.
An eco-friendly madrasah based on the concept of “The Guardian of Nature”: Islamic values (humans as stewards of the earth) are integrated with the “Taruna” discipline, so that environmental stewardship becomes an integral part of patriotism. This includes energy-efficient buildings, integrated waste management, productive land, and a Taruna culture that prioritizes environmental stewardship.
The integrated curriculum for the MTs Unggulan Taruna Al-Quran is designed based on the “Integrated Holistic Education” model. The goal is for students not to view science, religion, and physical and mental character development as separate disciplines.
The "Integrated Holistic Education" model: science, religion, and the development of physical and mental character are designed to be integrated, not separate. The course load is divided into three groups.
| Group | Subjects | Class Period (JP) | Integrated Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| National | Islamic Education (Qur'an and Hadith, Beliefs and Ethics, Islamic Jurisprudence, Islamic Studies) | 6 | Integration with scientific principles. |
| Indonesian and English | 8 | Focus on public speaking and literacy. | |
| Mathematics and Science | 10 | Project- and research-based. | |
| Social Studies and Civic Education | 4 | Focus on the Archipelagic Outlook and National Defense. | |
| Local/ Tahfidz | Tahfidz and Murojaah | 12 | Performed during the "Golden Hours" (dawn and Subuh). |
| Arabic | 4 | Used as the language of daily communication. | |
| Special | Physical Kesamaptaans and National Defense | 4 | Led by the Pamong team. |
| Leadership | 2 | Organizational simulation and integrity. | |
| Total class hours per week | 50 | ||
Discipline is enforced to correct behavior, not to punish. Guidance is provided throughout the day by the Pamong team, with morning and evening roll calls. Students who demonstrate good behavior receive recognition: the “Taruna Utama” title is awarded to students with the best disciplinary record and the highest memorization achievements, along with rewards such as extended recreational time, priority access to the digital library, and an award pin on their uniform.
Martial arts training develops physical fitness, courage, and self-control. Students learn to conduct themselves with sportsmanship, remain humble, and uphold proper etiquette during every practice session.
The students learn to assemble and program simple robots step by step. This activity fosters logical thinking, teamwork, and creativity, while also preparing the students to keep pace with technological advancements.
Archery builds concentration, patience, and self-control. Students learn the basic techniques of archery safely while developing a calm, sportsmanlike, and confident attitude.
Talented students are nurtured through regular, structured training, fostering sportsmanship, hard work, and a fighting spirit to achieve success at the school and regional levels.
