This study was motivated by the important role of family support in improving Islamic Education (PAI) achievement among elementary school students through social support, parental aspirations, and learning practices at home. The study aimed to describe the forms of family social support in PAI learning, explain parental aspirations toward children’s Islamic education achievement, analyze home-based PAI learning practices, and identify the relationship between family support, parental aspirations, and students’ PAI achievement. This research employed a qualitative field study approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving students, parents, Islamic Education teachers, and homeroom teachers. The findings showed that family support played a significant role in improving PAI achievement through learning assistance, supervision of worship activities, Qur’an recitation habits, and learning motivation. Parents’ aspirations were not only focused on academic achievement but also on the development of religious character and Islamic morals. Regular home-based PAI learning practices contributed to improving students’ discipline, motivation, and understanding of Islamic Education materials. The study concludes that successful PAI learning is influenced by the synergy between family, school, and social environment. Therefore, strong collaboration between parents and schools is needed to support children’s religious education.
