The results show that the two schools schedule religious activities, including memorizing the Qur'an, reciting the Qur'an, performing Dhuha prayers in congregation, performing Zikr, giving sermons, and performing Dhuhur prayers in congregation. The schools also implement program dares to be intelligent, dares to be active in congregation, must be able to recite the Quran, and provide Iqra' books. The principal’s roles include supporting, evaluating, and guiding all students. The vice principal's roles include supporting the principal.
