Abstract


The compassion-based curriculum in this study refers to a systematically planned learning experience as well as hidden curriculum practices aimed at transmitting compassionate values to students. It can take the form of standalone subjects, integration into the school's curriculum and programs, or through informal learning experiences via social interactions in school. The purpose of this research is to understand the implementation of a compassion-based curriculum at Lazuardi Athaillah Global Compassionate School (GCS) to assess its urgency in fostering students' love, sympathy, empathy, altruism, and anti-violence (non-aggression) attitudes. The research method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Deep interview transcripts are analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The research results indicate that the implementation of the compassion-based curriculum at Lazuardi Athaillah is carried out by teaching 20 compassionate characters named Lazuardi 20 through character-building subjects, integrated into the Cambridge Curriculum and the National Curriculum, trained through special school programs and hidden curriculum practices. Overall, the implementation of the compassion-based curriculum is going well. Through the implementation of the compassion-based curriculum, students are taught to always love God, others, and themselves. They are also taught to be tolerant, help alleviate others' suffering, care for the environment, and reject violence.
