While for written data that is sourced from archives, personal documents and official documents obtained from the Pondok Pesantren related to the research. The results of this study indicate that there are four roles of Miftahul Hidayah Islamic Boarding School, namely: 1) as a facilitator, 2) as a mobilizer, 3) as a human resource development, and 4) as a control in adolescent relationships.
