The transformation of Islamic scholarship in pesantren education is a response to the demands of the times, which require the integration of religious knowledge and general sciences. This study aims to examine curriculum development strategies in pesantren institutions through a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving caregivers, teachers, and students at selected pesantren. The findings reveal that the integration of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning) with modern knowledge is carried out through contextual and thematic approaches. Curriculum adjustments include the digitalization of learning, strengthening of entrepreneurship, and the development of 21st-century competencies. The role of teachers and caregivers is crucial in fostering learning innovations that remain rooted in Islamic spiritual values. This transformation has led to changes in students’ mindsets, improvements in academic and social competencies, as well as the increased relevance of pesantren graduates in society. The study recommends strengthening teacher capacity, policy support, and the provision of facilities as strategic steps to reinforce integrative curricula in pesantren.Keywords: writing instructions; agricultural journal; article template
