This study aims to examine the strategy for improving school literacy culture to develop student character at Madrasahs in Palu City. This study employs a multiple case study method. Data were collected through field observation, in-depth interviews with the school's Principal, vice principals, teachers, and students. Data were also gathered through the analysis of written materials, such as teaching materials and teaching plans. The validity of the data was ensured through source and method triangulation techniques. The findings show that the implementation of the school literacy movement in Palu City has shown great potential in shaping students' character through strengthening an integrated literacy culture, involving the active roles of teachers, parents, madrasah principals, and all school components in creating a comprehensive literacy learning environment. The success of this program is supported by integrating literacy across all subjects, improving teacher competency, involving families and communities as partners, and regular evaluation and monitoring to ensure the program remains relevant and effective. However, to achieve optimal results, further strengthening of literacy facilities, especially digital literacy, is needed through the provision of libraries, reading corners, and adequate internet access, as well as more intensive communication among stakeholders, so that a culture of literacy develops not only in schools but also at home.
