This study aims to describe the management of Aswaja An-Nahdliyyah based lokal curriculum in strengthening the character of students at Madrasah Aliyah Miftahussalam Wonosalam Demak. This study will answer how the management and the strategy of the  Local based curriculum strengthen student’s character, and what the supporting and inhibiting factors are for the implementation of the  management of local-based curriculum in strengthening the student’s character.
