The purpose of this study is to determine the strategies teachers use in teaching social tolerance to elementary school students. Social tolerance is an attitude where a person accepts a difference in terms of religion, race, culture, ethnicity, nation, and others. In the context of social tolerance, students can understand others who are from different backgrounds so that they can accept diversity in terms of different cultures. This study was conducted in elementary schools with 28 participants consisting of students, teachers, and principals, using interviews, observations, and focus group discussions for data collection. Findings revealed that teachers adopted three notable strategies to teach social tolerance: First, using Betawi's local cultural stories for the students. Second, using movies because movies can attract interest and make the students happy. Third, teachers use the outing class method or invite students outside the school to visit certain places determined by the teachers. We conclude that social tolerance can be taught effectively to students in primary school education.
