The research informants consisted of Islamic boarding school leaders, tutors, and students who were selected purposively. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.

Supporting factors for the implementation of multicultural education include inclusive Islamic boarding school leadership, a tolerant social environment, and the integration of religious and social values in the lives of students. The inhibiting factors are related to the dynamics of adaptation of students who come from diverse cultural backgrounds and the complexity of the 24-hour dormitory life system.
