In this qualitative case study, we examine a pesantren in the practice of learning emphasizes the characters learning in an effort to foster human values. Data taken used direct observation techniques and interview with the informants (kiai, teacher and santri). Our results suggest that pesantren are educational institutions which are very effective in developing character in students (santri) especially on human values which ensure the unity of the nation. This research gives evidence that pesantren in Indonesia are friendly Islamic educational institutions, uphold human rights, democratic, pluralist, and tolerant toward religion.
