This research examined the effectiveness of the Adiwiyata Program in fostering an environmentally conscious school culture in Magelang. The study utilized quantitative research employing survey techniques. It was con-ducted in twelve primary schools in the Magelang District, involving 316 participants, including school principals/vice principals, Adiwiyata coordinators, administrative staff, and students. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and observations. The research findings indicated that overall, the implementation of the Adiwiyata Program falls under the effective category. This suggests that, in general, all four Adiwiyata components were effective. However, the environmentally aware school policy only accounted for an 11% influence, while the environmentally friendly school culture held a 20% influence on environmental problem-solving skills. This was due to various factors, including the school policy related to vision and mission not being adequately socialized and understood by the entire school community, and the lack of habitual attitudes and behaviors regarding environmental concerns within the school culture. In connection with this, Adiwiyata schools in the Magelang District need to intensify the dissemination and publication of environmental vision policies to the entire school community. Additionally, they should consistently foster environmental consciousness within the school and engage in environmental competitions.
