This research discusses the efforts of sokalah leaders in implementing the curriculum at the
Nurul Ilmi Jambi Integrated Islamic High School (SMAIT). The research method used is a
quantitative research method. Implementation of the Independent Curriculum is the main
focus of school principals. The initial steps taken involved teacher training, creating a
common perception regarding the importance of the Independent Curriculum, and building
cooperation both internally and externally. Even though it has only been implemented in
class 10 for the 2023 academic year, SMAIT Nurul Ilmi Jambi has tried to be an example for
other schools in adopting the Independent Curriculum with the support of supervisors and
regular consultations. However, in the process of implementing the Independent
Curriculum, SMAIT Nurul Ilmi Jambi faced several obstacles. This includes changes in
learning design, creating teaching modules, as well as determining students' areas of
expertise in phase F (grades 11-12). However, schools are trying to overcome this obstacle by
involving teachers in independent learning platforms, sharing experiences through Subject
Teacher Conferences (MGMP), and planning to improve facilities and infrastructure. Apart
from that, they also encourage the development of students' interests and talents through
extracurricular activities and collaborate with psychology institutions to identify student
potential since grade 10
