Because educational institutions have integrated students with disabilities into regular classes at every level, and they must not look at the backgrounds of their students in providing educational services; both from academic intellectual ability, physical condition, as well as mentality and emotions. And the existence of these differences should not be used as an obstacle, but a fact that must be respected and respected. The conditions and situations of diverse learning like this can be a very effective medium for character building for every student. A sense of empathy, sympathy, tolerance, and care will appear in this educational concept. However, in practice sometimes there is still discrimination and lopsided views towards persons with disabilities.

This study used a qualitative design with a case study method. The data obtained in this study are the efforts and obstacles of the school in building social care character through civic education.
