The independent curriculum is implemented in order to improve the quality and welfare of education in Indonesia. The independent curriculum includes three types of learning, namely intracurricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular. The application of an independent curriculum in learning is a crucial contribution in shaping an academic culture rooted in Islamic values. This study aims to determine the extent of the implementation of the independent curriculum in schools and its implications for the formation of Islamic values-based school academic culture. The method used is qualitative with a multicase study format. Data collection through observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The research location is in two institutions, namely SMA Al Fattah Sidoarjo and MAN Sidoarjo. The subjects of the study were principals, curriculum waka, educators, and students. Data analysis using domain analysis. Test the validity of the data using source and method triangulation types. The results showed that the implementation of the independent curriculum at SMA Al Fattah Sidoarjo and MAN Sidoarjo has changed the academic culture by providing freedom in curriculum preparation and integration of Islamic values. This change is seen in more collaborative teaching and learning, more disciplined learning ethics, respect for knowledge, religious habituation, and moral development. The Merdeka Curriculum has a positive impact in shaping the school's academic culture based on Islamic values, strengthening the school's identity and student character, and helping to form highly competitive individuals with strong Islamic values.
