Findings: 1) Integration of Teaching Methods. 2) Balanced Curriculum. 3) Foreign Language Proficiency. 4) Comprehensive Evaluation. 5) Holistic Approach. This study highlights the successful integration of Western educational methods with Islamic values, offering a model for other educational institutions aiming to develop holistic and integrative learning systems.
