This study aims to develop and implement a Quran-based science curriculum model at SMP Boarding School Zad Cianjur and SMP Boarding School Baitul Ilmi Cianjur. The curriculum is designed to enhance students' scientific understanding while strengthening their Islamic character. The results of the study indicate that the Quran-based curriculum is effective in improving students' cognitive abilities in science, with an average score increase of 25% on the post-test compared to the pre-test. Furthermore, this curriculum also successfully enhances students' Islamic character, including honesty, responsibility, and environmental awareness. Positive changes were observed in students' daily behaviors, such as increased discipline and concern for the cleanliness of the school environment. Teachers reported that the implementation of this curriculum not only improved students' academic abilities but also helped shape their noble character. However, there were challenges in the curriculum implementation, such as time constraints and difficulties in connecting scientific concepts with Quranic values. Based on these findings, the study recommends continuous teacher training, the development of more comprehensive teaching materials, and adjustments to teaching time allocation to maximize the integration of science and religion in learning.
