The results showed that character education in boarding schools proved to be more effective than in schools or madrassas, because boarding schools are able to develop students from various aspects, both in terms of intellectual, emotional and religious character building, so that the output of boarding schools is born with knowledge and morals or character. The success in shaping the character of boarding students is due to boarding students in boarding schools under the guidance and supervision of the boarding school kyai, the exemplary role model of the boarding school kyai and his authority as a religious leader at school and the learning atmosphere at school.
