A qualitative case study research method was employed. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman's model, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data validity was ensured through triangulation. The results showed that MI Ma'arif Ketegan Bilingual School Sidoarjo implemented three curricula in its learning process: the Ministry of Education and Culture curriculum, the Cambridge International Examination curriculum, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs curriculum with an adaptive adoption approach, combining the three curricula through a selective adoption and adaptation process. The implementation of the curriculum at MI Ma'arif Ketegan Bilingual School was discussed in three stages: program planning, implementation, and evaluation. Based on the research results, the implementation of the Cambridge curriculum was only conducted in the assessment of English, Science, and Mathematics subjects. For the implementation of the learning process, the characteristics of the Cambridge curriculum were instilled, such as using English as the medium of instruction, fostering critical thinking, and employing active and enjoyable learning methods.
