This study aims to describe strategies for fostering discipline among students at the Adiwiyata school, Muhammadiyah Condongcatur Elementary School, using Hitt et al.'s strategic management cycle approach. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research method, supported by ATLAS.ti 9, for data analysis. The data analysis employed Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's model to ensure that the theoretical and practical results of this study could be understood and replicated in other schools to improve environmental discipline.
