The urgency is increasingly pressing amidst the complexity of environmental and social problems in dealing with the threat of diversity. Therefore, the integration of the Cambridge Curriculum with the Merdeka Curriculum is very important for SMAN South Sumatra because it supports the quality of education and character development of students in facing global challenges. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the integration of the Cambridge Curriculum with the Independent Curriculum in character formation in Class X at SMAN South Sumatra. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data was collected through interviews, documentation and observation. The results of the research show that the implementation of the character formation program for class X students at SMAN South Sumatra found that all activities were integrated in the character formation program and had a significant influence. Apart from that, it can be applied practically in Islamic religious learning, developing a more adaptive curriculum, as well as theoretical contributions to the understanding of Islamic character formation in the curriculum in the current era.
