Instilling tolerance is meant to make life in diversity harmonious. For elementary school teachers, it has become a demand to be able to instill tolerance in students but there are still many definitions and differences in indicators that make tolerance standards not yet established. The characteristics of elementary school students still think that holistically poses challenges and their own hues for forming tolerance.This study aims to determine teacher perceptions of tolerance of elementary school students. The research design uses a qualitative approach. Respondents were 12 elementary school teachers from grade 1 to grade 6 spread across 8 cities/regencies. Data collection is done through surveys with open questions to reveal the teacher’s perceptions of tolerance and how tolerance is instilled in students. The results show that there are various definitions of tolerance in teacher perceptions, but all of these meanings lead to positive meanings. Teachers perceive tolerance in a variety of understandings that are different from the limits of each students’ diversity regarding the definition of making judgments about forms of tolerance which at some points become various as well. This paper also explores the teacher’s perceptions of factors that influence the formation of tolerance in elementary school students.
