This research analyzes the comparative management of ACT implementation at MA Wahid Hasyim and SMA Bumi Cendekia, particularly within the context of dual curriculum implementation in boarding schools. This research employs a descriptivecomparative qualitative approach. The primary data were obtained through purposive sampling involving 12 informants and were strengthened through interviews, observations, and documentation. This study formulates strategies for improving educational quality based on the POAC+E management functions (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling, and Evaluation) to support students’ continuity of study in higher education.. The findings reveal that, first, both institutions implement ACT management systematically, although they demonstrate different managerial strategies and characteristics. Second, ACT results influence the fulfillment of requirements for continuing education to higher education institutions; however, they do not directly determine student admission to universities. Third, the ACT management strategies implemented by both institutions include: (1) strengthening the English Corner program to improve students’ mastery of English materials; (2) implementing STEAM-based research methods to develop students’ scientific analytical skills; (3) strengthening ACT preparation through literacy improvement programs and the provision of tutoring services; and (4) creating a positive learning environment to develop students’ confidence and optimism in facing the ACT. Holistically, ACT management reflects the managerial capacity of educational institutions in organizing learning evaluation programs. Therefore, Islamic boarding school-based educational institutions are encouraged to integrate modern curriculum innovations with adaptive boarding management systems in order to produce graduates who possess strong spiritual values while remaining academically competitive.371.2 Pendidikan - Manajemen2026-07-22UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU TARBIYAH DAN KEGURUANThesis
