<p class="08Bab"><span lang="EN-US">The reality of moral degradation among students today, among others, can be seen from the fading of politeness and manners and behaviour bullying to</span><span lang="EN-US">academic cheating. This reality requires the response of various parties to re-strengthen character education. Families and educational institutions are strategic places to grow character values together. This study aims to describe and analyze forms of strengthening character education through holistic learning values. The research focuses on the implementation of learning, the use of the learning environment, the synergy of families, schools, and communities, and the principles of strengthening character education. This research approach uses descriptive qualitative with a moderate participation role. Data collection techniques with structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. At the data analysis and interpretation stage, researchers used literature analysis, centralized discussion, and focus group discussion. The study results show that forms of synergy between schools, families, and communities are needed to strengthen character education through holistic learning. Teachers should be able to act as parents as well as friends for students while at school. Stakeholders and related agencies need cooperation between educational institutions, revitalizing the role of school committees, empowering graduates, the potential for local wisdom in the academic environment, and outreach to school programs through various forums and media. Parental support is needed for the educational process and student learning progress, as well as periodic monitoring and evaluation of education involving multiple related parties. Holistic learning requires the teacher's understanding of integrated learning and strives for meaningful learning. Integration of religion and science curriculum is also needed as integrative learning so that students can develop their potential well.</span></p><p class="08Bab"> </p><p class="08Bab"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter</span><span> Melalui Nilai-Nilai Pembelajaran Holistik</span><span lang="EN-US">. </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Realitas degradasi moral di</span><span lang="EN-US">kalangan pelajar saat ini, di</span><span lang="EN-US">antaranya tampak dari mulai lunturnya kesantunan dan tata krama, perilaku <em>bullying</em> hingga kecurangan akademik.
