One of the institutions with an integrative curriculum to teach Nahwu & Sharaf subjects considered acceptable is the Darul Uluum Islamic Boarding School.This study aimed to describe Nahwu & Sharaf curriculum development concepts and models at Daarul Uluum Islamic boarding school at Majalengka supporting and inhibiting implementing the curriculum. The method used in this study was qualitative research. Data collection used interviews, the teacher's approach to teaching Nahwu & Sharaf, and the Islamic boarding school syllabus.The results showed that Nahwu & Sharaf curriculum development model was a central de-central, which combined two administrative approaches and the grassroots approach. The supporting factors were: 1) Motivation of leaders of Islamic boarding school; 2) Commitments of leaders of Islamic boarding schoolto develop curriculum, 3) Professional competence of Nahwu & Sharaf teachers, and 4) Input of students who have an initial understanding of the material to be obtainable.
