In facing the challenges of modern education, this research wants to explore the management model applied in this madrasa. The research method used is qualitative research with a field approach, which involves interviews, observation and document analysis to collect in-depth data regarding madrasa management practices. The research results show that the Islamic boarding school-based madrasa management at MTs Al Falah Jatirokeh Brebes has succeeded in integrating the Islamic and general education curriculum, with an emphasis on active learning through interactive methodology.
