Character values seen are religious, independent, cooperation, integrity, and nationalist values. Based on the results of the t-test on the Expansion class and the Control class, the value of t sig (2-tailed) of 0.000 is smaller than 0.05 so that Ho is rejected. It means that there is a significant difference in strengthening character education in the experimental class using a project citizen model with control who use ordinary learning and effect size. From this study, it is known that the impact of enhancing character education in the XII IPS class of SMAN 8 Pontianak is equal to 1 in the high category, thus learning with the Project citizen model is effective as a reinforcement of character education.
