Abstract: Character development is a critical aspect of individual growth, shaped by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This study aims to examine the influence of religious motivation, family environment, and religious education on character development. The research is based on the premise that these three variables play a fundamental role in shaping students' ethical and moral values. Given the increasing challenges in fostering character development in the contemporary era, understanding the interaction between religious motivation, familial influence, and structured religious education is essential. This study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing a structured questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics to assess the degree of influence exerted by each independent variable on character development. Through comprehensive and partial hypothesis testing, it was found that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. Therefore, the results of this study conclude that religious motivation, family environment, and religious education influence the character development of Bina Nusantara students in Tangerang and Jakarta. This research contributes to the ongoing academic discourse on character education and serves as a valuable reference for educational institutions and parents in collaboratively fostering students' character. The implications of this study highlight the necessity of an integrated approach, where educational institutions and families work in synergy to reinforce character development. These findings offer practical insights for policymakers, educators, and parents in designing strategies that enhance moral and ethical cultivation among students, ensuring a holistic educational experience that extends beyond the classroom.
