Educational dualism, separating religious sciences (‘ulūm al-dīn) from general sciences (‘ulūm al-‘ām), constitutes a fundamental challenge in the contemporary Islamic education system. The Muadalah Education Unit (SPM) emerges as a strategic response to bridge this dichotomy through a holistic educational model. This study aims to analyze in depth the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of the integrated curriculum with the Mu'allimīn pattern at boarding school Modern Darussalam Gontor in Poso. The primary focus of this study is to uncover how the integration of values, systems, and scholarship is applied within the "totality of life" of the boarding school over 24 hours. This study employs a qualitative case study design. Data collection techniques included participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The collected data were analysed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity checks were conducted through source and method triangulation and through prolonged researcher engagement in the field. The results indicate four substantial findings. First, curriculum planning applies the principle of institutional autonomy with a "Dual-Engine Planning" system. Academic planning is systematically managed by Kulliyatul Mu'allimīn Al-Islamiyyah (KMI). In contrast, character planning is managed by the Guidance Council Department, both of which are preservers of pondok values yet dynamic towards the times' developments. Second, the curriculum design is non-dichotomous with a composition of 100% religious sciences and 100% general sciences. This design is a synthesis of four international education systems (Al-Azhar, Syanggit, Aligarh, and Santiniketan) unified by the "Five Souls" (Panca Jiwa) philosophy to produce intellectual ulama.
