This research was conducted using a qualitative approach at Al-Azhar Islamic School Solo Baru. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used interactive analysis with steps: 1) data condensation, 2) data display, and 3) drawing and verifying conclusion. The results of the study showed: 1) Al-Azhar Islamic School harmonizes empirical sciences with religious sciences in the education process; 2) The process of integrating educators at home (parents) and at school (teachers) is an essential aspect of implementing an integrative curriculum. Well-educated parents can contribute to the children's education process at school.
