Abstract
In various cases, local wisdom plays role in helping face every day’s challenges. In Indonesia’s context, the society is a multicultural society and it has a variety of local wisdom. Local wisdom is a product of thoughts, views of life, behavior, habits, and other products produced by certain communities that show the identity and uniqueness of that community. The diversity of local wisdom can be developed through education because education is a place for the nation's generation to be educated and guided to become qualified individuals. Through its network of members spread across various parts of the country, Muhammadiyah has established a large number of educational institutions from early childhood to tertiary institutions spread across the archipelago. The motivation is the da'wah of Islam through educational institutions. Muhammadiyah carries the spirit of inclusivity as it has organized education for all. It can be said that Muhammadiyah adjusts itself to the local wisdom by accepting students regardless of religious, ethnic, citizenship and economic background.
