Abstract

Muhammadiyah is a ‘da’wah’ as well as a science and education movement. As the Muhammadiyah missionary movement, it is obliged to ask people to do “an amar ma’ruf nahi Munkar” as a spirit of its ideology. As a science and education movement, Muhammadiyah has proven itself as an institution that has succeeded in building educational institutions from primary schools to tertiary institutions. The challenge of Muhammadiyah today is to improve the orientation of its vision towards the global movements. One strategy is the Muhammadiyah internationalization program. One manifestation of this program is the establishment of an Muhammadiyah Australian College (MAC). This research attempts to find out the administrative legal-formal challenges in establishing the MAC and to investigate the blueprint of the MAC curriculum and its strategy in integrating the Austrasia curriculum model with Islam and ‘Kemuhammadiyahan’. This study adopted a qualitative critical approach. Data collection methods that will be used are interviews, and document analysis. Participants in this study were the chairperson of Australia’s Special Branch Management (PCIM) and head of the curriculum team of the Australian Muhammadiyah School. The stages of this research include collecting, coding data, transcribing, analyzing, interpreting the data and reporting the findings. The research found that the core values, vision and objectives of MAC were in line with Muhammadiyah values and visions. Islamic values and Kemuhammadiyahan were taught in the curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular domains.
