Received: December, 2024. Accepted: February, 2025 Abstract LKSA Bismar Al-Mustaqim Orphanage implements a curriculum based on the salaf pesantren education system to build the foundation of faith and character of foster children. The curriculum consists of three levels according to age and the level of complexity of learning: basic for teaching the Qur'an, intermediate for the introduction of Arabic and yellow book studies in bandongan, and advanced for individual deepening of knowledge through the sorogan method. In addition to religious-based education, the orphanage also applies semi-authoritarian and democratic parenting using exemplary methods, habituation, dialogue, and counseling guidance. Despite facing internal obstacles such as caregiver fatigue and the diversity of children's characters, as well as external challenges in the form of economic dependence on donors, the orphanage still shows a significant positive impact. This can be seen from the various awards achieved, reflecting the orphanage's commitment in producing a generation with character and virtue. Keywords: Curriculum. Orphanage.

The role of the family is very important in influencing how the child's development process occurs. To find a solution like this, an orphanage was established. According to the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Depsos RI), an orphanage is a social welfare institution that operates in the field of individual and social welfare services, especially for children who do not have parents or relatives, by providing assistance, care and services so that they can have the opportunity to experience the opportunity to live in a family and get access to formal and informal education, such as school and care. Orphanages facilitate children with formal and informal education, food and clothing, a sense of security and so on. Orphanages as a substitute for families have an important role for the continuity of family education for foster children. The program carried out focuses on fulfilling the needs of children's rights in achieving their welfare. One of the orphanages that is the object of this research is LKSA Panti Asuhan Bismar Al-Mustaqim Surabaya.

In the pesantren education system there are principles that are divided into two parts, namely the classical system and the non-classical system.

This is related to the foster children of LKSA Panti Asuhan Bismar Al-Mustaqim who are on average 6-19 years old which means entering elementary and secondary education according to formal education procedures. LKSA Panti Asuhan Bismar Al-Mustaqim implements a non-classical Islamic boarding school education system because the focus of the establishment of the orphanage is to provide comprehensive care to orphans, who will then continue to be schooled in formal schools at schools or madrasahs affiliated with LKSA Bismar Al-Mustaqim Surabaya. However, this does not mean that as an orphanage, it does not eliminate one of the Three Centers of Ki Hadjar Dewantara Education, namely the Family Education Center and the Community Education Center as a manifestation of the goal of the orphanage which is to realize child welfare, one of which is based on the Islamic religion.

In addition to Ustad Mukhrojin and Ustadzah Ifa, in the orphanage there are also caregivers and teachers for the foster children according to the age of the foster children and their needs. The parenting pattern applied in the care process at LKSA Bismar Al Mustaqim is semiauthoritarian and democratic, this is indicated by seeing how the methods applied by the institution in raising children such as using exemplary methods, habituation, reward and punishment, storytelling methods, advice dialogue, and discussion.

Handayaningrum & Yanuartuti. Education Curriculum In Orphanage (Analysis Of Education Curriculum System In Bismar Al-Mustaqim Orphanage Surabay. they had difficulty making friends or at school in the dormitory. Yes, sometimes there is a feeling of inferiority because in the school environment they mix with children who still have both parents where they still get attention from both parents. Actually the reason the term Orphanage was changed to LKSA is because the children don't like the term 'orphanage children' because it makes them feel very different from children in general. But so far it has only happened at the beginning, miss. Then the children can adapt to their peers because they are used to the new situation". The focus of care from LKSA Bismar Al-Mustaqim Orphanage is not only on orphans, but also children from the poor and broken homes. Ustadzah Ifa also said that orphans tend to be able to accept reality and many love them while children whose families are still intact but "lacking" are somewhat less glanced at or ignored, even though they actually need more attention. Because it also has a big impact on the personality of children, especially those who are victims of domestic violence, sometimes it can be ascertained that their character tends to be harder and temperamental. To achieve this. LKSA Panti Asuhan Bismar Al Mustaqim bridges the process of forming good interpersonal intelligence in children by providing them with care and direction in their daily lives.
