Entering the Society 5.0 era, characterized by rapid digital development and globalization, education must not only equip students with technological skills but also foster social and cultural understanding. The Society 5.0 initiative aims to enable individuals to adapt and thrive in an increasingly diverse and interconnected environment. The purpose of this research is to investigate the implementation of multicultural education at the Indonesian School Abroad in Kuala Lumpur (SIKL). The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis, including modules, books, and curriculum guides related to multicultural education at SIKL. Based on the study's findings, it was observed that SIKL has effectively implemented multicultural education; however, there are areas that still require improvement. The implementation of multicultural education encompasses school policy and politics, school culture and hidden curriculum, learning styles, language and dialect, community participation and input, counseling programs, assessment and testing procedures, instructional materials, formalized curriculum and courses of study, teaching styles and strategies, and the attitudes, perceptions, beliefs, and actions of school staff.
