This study aims to examine the effect of a humanistic-based student management model on improving students’ discipline in private senior high schools under the Don Bosco Catholic Education Foundation in Medan. The study was motivated by the need to enhance students’ discipline, which is often still externally driven and not yet fully internalized as personal awareness. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design, specifically the pretest–posttest control group design. The sample consisted of two groups: an experimental group that received treatment through the humanistic-based student management model and a control group that was taught using conventional management methods. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring students’ discipline and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean score compared to the control group. Statistical analysis revealed that the significance value was less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. This finding confirms that the humanistic-based student management model has a positive and significant effect on improving students’ discipline. In conclusion, the implementation of a humanistic approach in student management is more effective than conventional methods in fostering students’ discipline. This approach not only enhances compliance but also promotes internal awareness, responsibility, and self-regulation among students.
