The finding related to the implementation of character education was carried out by integrating character education into daily activities at the madrasah and building communication between schools with parents of students. Furthermore, the finding of supervision showed that each party in the school such as the principal, vice-principals and teachers played an active role in supervising both directly and indirectly. The teacher was the party that had an active role because the teacher in addition to overseeing student actions, teacher also taught about how to inculcate character education in the classroom so that it can improve student behaviors by giving a warning.  In terms of evaluation, it showed that the learning process of character education had been going quite well and in accordance with what was expected even though there were still shortcomings such as there were teachers who still did not understand the materials well, so the learning process was still less interesting and satisfying, especially in religious learning.
