Based on the research results, the implementation of Islamic-based tolerance values in Digital-Based Elementary Schools in Cirebon City is carried out by: 1) provide opportunities for all students to take part in religious learning in accordance with their respective religious beliefs; 2) fostering a tolerant environment in all classes (learning about differences, fostering mutual trust, upholding mutual understanding, and upholding mutual love); and 3) fostering a deeper understanding of Islam among students (tolerance value). Government policies that provide guidelines for advancing the ideals of religious tolerance, adequate facilities, and the realization of collaboration between students in religious activities are all supporting aspects.
