The Role of Muhammadiyah 2 Sumberrejo High School Educational Institutions in Responding to Global Challenges

Abstract

This article examines the strategic role of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sumberrejo in responding to global
challenges through educational innovation and strengthening Islamic values. Using a qualitative approach and case study methods, the study found that the school is integrating 21st century learning, such
as Project-Based Learning and digital literacy, into its curriculum. In addition, strengthening Islamic
character is carried out through routine programs such as tahfidz, cults, and social activities. The school
also establishes international networks through virtual student exchange programs and global classroom collaborations. The findings show that the combination of innovation, Islamic values, and openness
to the outside world makes SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sumberrejo an adaptive institution that is ready to
compete at the global level, without losing its identity and cultural roots.
