1 INTRODUCTION
School is a formal organization in education. Each
school has culture that will make school achieve its
goals. Activities and norm in school are school
culture. School is a part of people cultural, but school
has its own characteristic as sub-culture to build
school management (school reform).
School has roles to inform the cultural to the
young generation and it need to concern the society
and the culture. There a pattern of culture that exists
in school. S. Nasution (1999) stated that the existence
of school cultural is a school’s function to teach the
generation by informs the student knowledge,
behavior, and skills as in curriculum.
The important elements of school culture are
norms, belief, tradition, religion ceremony, and myth
that have been translated by selected people. That
exists in any tradition or act that people do on and on.
There’s no subject about cultural school for student.
But student will gain the cultural school from their
daily activities, norms, and their beliefs from every
school elements as principle, teachers, etc. those are
the things that student will take as cultural school.
School has to concert about people’s perception
who visited the school. The first impression of school
will assume as school culture. Those are like teachers’
interaction, students act in class and outside the class,

system is to develop school with its power. The

horizontal relationship within school members, and
school ceremony. All those components will help
build the school behavior to run its system, the group
activities or personal activities of school member.
2 EASES OF USE
2.1 School Cultural Concept
According to Zamroni (2011, p.111) the limitations
of school culture are: Patterns of values, principles,
traditions and customs that have been established in
the long journey of schools, long-established school
development and is believed by all the citizens of the
school that encourages the emergence of attitudes and
behavior of school residents.
The definition of school culture in the opinion of
Phillips (1993) cited by Aan Komariah (2004, p.195)
defines school culture as ‘the beliefs, attitudes, and
behaviors which characterize a school’. While
McBrien and R.S. Brant at the same source (2004: 89)
said “Definition of school Culture: The sum of the
values, cultures, safety practices, and organizational
structures within a school that cause it to function and
react in particular ways”.
It can be concluded from the above definitions
that the school culture is the values, principles,
traditions, habits, behaviors that are formed within the
school and in making culture for the school.
2.2 Creating and Preserving Culture
Cultural creation occurs in three ways: First, the
founders recruit and retain only workers who think
and feel the same way they do. Second, they inculcate
and socialize their way of thinking and feeling
towards the workers. Thirdly, the behavior of the
founders themselves encourages workers to identify
with them and internalize their beliefs, values, and
assumptions.
When the organization has succeeded, the
personality of the founders becomes embedded in the
culture. So that's where the culture will begin to form.
There are three important components in maintaining
the existence of culture within an organization such
as:
a. Selection Process. The purpose of the selection
process is to identify and recruit individuals
with the knowledge, skills, and ability to work
productively and successfully. The final
decision, as it is significantly influenced by
decision-makers' consideration of how well the
prospective workers will be adjusted into the
organization, identifies those with basically
consistent value with at least a good portion of
the organization.
b. Top management. The actions of top
management have an impact on organizational
culture. Leaders become a powerful driver for
the growth of subordinate behavior. Leaders
must establish behavioral norms that their
subordinates can follow.
c. Socialization. The planting of norms established
by the organization can be done by talking about
it in meetings, meetings, or even with special
tools / media. Socialization as a process with
three stages: before arrival, meeting and follow-
up.
2.3 Manajemen Qolbu
Manajemen Qalbu (MQ) is a concept of Islamic life
guidance initiated by Daarut Tauhid Leadership
School of Bandung, KH Abdullah Gymnastiar, who
taught a new concept in developing syiar Islam.
Qolbu Management offers to invite people to
understand the heart or heart, self, in order to want
and be able to control themselves after understanding
who is really himself. So, the concept of qolbu
management is a consciousness that is generated on
his own consciousness to make his life better and
always be in Allah's pleasure.
Sometimes people often forget themselves. In
fact, people always blame others if something
happened to him. Everyone should be aware that
everything that happens and will happen begins with
himself. If you want to be good, of course he must do
well. So, first have to recognize and understand
yourself.
But it all boils down to every human being. The
Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said in
a hadith, that in the human body there is an organ. If
the organ is good, then the whole human being is well.
But, if he's rotten, it's rotten all over. The organ is
qalbu (hearth).
In living this life, the basic capital to form a
strong, dedicated, and disciplined soul in carrying out
daily work is with a clean and holy heart. On the
concept of Qolbu Management, it all starts from our
own heart, from this moment and from the smallest
start. So, in order to be a good man and solih, his heart
must be clean from various heart diseases. Therefore,
a Muslim should be very concerned with the
improvement of the heart, or often called the method
of Management Qalbu (MQ).

Qolbu management is an effort to regulate and
maintain the silence of the heart by knowing God.
One of the ways with berzikir, thinking and seeking.
Furthermore, the peaceful heart is filled with Islamic
spiritual values such as patience, ridicule,
trustworthiness, sincerity, honesty, and accompanied
by endeavor. If you already have it, then what is
delivered with a sincere heart that will touch the
recesses of the hearts of many people.
Islamic teachings must be able to solve various
problems that are facing the Indonesian nation. Only,
the problem is, to practice religion and socialize it
must be continuous, more innovative, and creative.
So, it is acceptable to people who are constantly
changing. But most importantly, how we actualize the
religious understanding correctly and consistently.
That way, people can accept religion as a solution. Do
not just confess religion, but his actions and behavior
are far from that religion. Conditions are currently
like that. Many societies are inconsistent with their
religion. Hopefully with his qolbu inbuilt
management, we can increase our faith and our
devotion to the God almighty.

4 RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS
4.1 Characteristic of School Culture
Based on the findings in the field that there are
characteristics of cultural values that exist in SMK
Daarut Tauhiid Boarding School that is tauhiid value.
The value of tauhiid is contained in the vision of SMK
Daarut Tauhiid. So, this value becomes the main
value that exist in the school. The values of tauhiid
implemented through the daily worship by the
citizens of the school such as praying fardhu
congregation, prayers dhuha, tahajud prayer,
following the study of Islam, halaqoh qur'an and so
forth. The existence of such habits for embedded
values tauhiid into the soul of the school.
In addition to the value of tauhiid, there is also a
typical value of SMK Daarut Tauhiid is a good
character and strong (Raw Character), in which there
are values (Ikhlas, honest, tawadhu, courageous,
disciplined and resilient). The process for the values
to be realized, the school makes the rules or norms
and habituation so that what is done by the citizens of
the school is also focused and tailored to the vision
and mission of the school. All citizens of the school
are obliged to obey the rules. Schools make
disciplinary students complete with sanctions given,
for educators are also obliged to comply with the rules
set by the foundation.
Implementing regulations for school residents is
not easy but all it takes the process in running it.
Foundation has a disciplinary team that is (Honorary
Board of Santri Karya), to train discipline of santri
works. The value of discipline is seen that almost all
school residents obey the rules established even if
there are still violators. A formidable value is seen
when carrying out the congested activities that school
establishes. The value of bold looks when they are
responsible for what should be done according to the
rules. Honest value is seen when they do the task of
not cheating. For sincere and tawadhu value is
difficult to measure it can only be seen that they look
enjoy in doing something.
The basic values and beliefs held by members of
daarut tauhid organizations need to be inherited to
new members as guidelines for acting and behaving
in the organization. Adjustment of members to
applicable rules or norms and adaptation to
environmental change needs to be realized through
consistency of rule enforcement and the behavior of
its members

Culture

qiyamullail, halaqoh qur'an, following the study of
Islam such as study bina ruhiyah, al-hikam study,
study ma'rifatullah, Monday and Thursday and so on.
But it is not entirely school residents follow these
habits, and it all must take a long process. In addition,
through habituation, the formation of culture also
through the selection process, which in this process
through academic tests and interview tests. In the
interview test is not only the students but the parents

motivation, confidence, commitment to learning,
commitment to the rules, readiness to accept existing
facilities, readiness to face difficulty, health

appears in the school residents, namely:
 Religious thinking
 Courteous and polite
 Cleanliness
 orderly
 Discipline of time
 Neatness
 Responsible
 Brave
 Honestly
However, these behaviors are not yet apparent to
the entire school population, there are still some who
do not show such behavior. To form the desired
culture does require a very long process.
