Since the reformation era, socio-political realities of the life of the nation within the frame of democracy in Indonesia have not shown people's intelligence and awareness for real democracy. An important agenda would be to build school as a laboratory of democracy and the microcosmos of democracy. This research employed a qualitative approach through the case study method. The data collection is through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings of this study indicate: (1) democracy education is perceived as effort to teach the understanding of rights and obligations to improve students discipline; (2) the planning and the implementation of civic learning refers to systematic democratic learning; and (3) Student Council activities and extra-curricular activities provide a real experience of democracy and socio-cultural values. In conclusion, the research indicates that the Integrated High School of Krida Nusantara Bandung, West Java, adopts a pattern of disciplinary education that is aligned to the National Education System, religious education, military discipline, and boarding care.
