Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of multidimensional holistic education in a boarding school at SMA Al Bayan Sukabumi, focusing on the corporal (physical), emotional, cognitive, social, aesthetic and spiritual dimensions. This research was conducted by using a qualitative method using Soft System Methodology (SSM). Field data were obtained through document study, filling out questionnaires and interviews with 21 (twenty one) students- 7 (seven) principals and teachers, 3 alumni and 2 parents. The material presented to respondents was based on six dimensions of holistic education. From all the data analyzed, it is found that the perspective of observed learning outcomes provides factual information in relation with the focus of the study. The dimensions of learning outcomes that have been implemented well are cognitive, social and spiritual dimensions, while the physical, aesthetic, and emotional dimensions still have to be improved. Viewed from the level of learning outcomes, all dimensions have been implemented from the individual level to the communal level. Meanwhile, the social, global and cosmic levels have not been achieved optimally. Summarizing these results, in order to implement education holistically at SMA PU Al Bayan it is recommended to improve the school^s vision and mission as well as its programs to the cosmic level. To be effectively implemented, the holistic education paradigm must be comprehended by all members of the community, especially teachers as role actors in a school in embodying independent learning.
