Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in educational institutions plays a vital role in promoting community engagement, ethical practices, and sustainable development. However, the implementation of CSR in private schools, particularly in developing contexts, faces unique challenges. This study explores the CSR practices of Mingde Experimental School and investigates the difficulties encountered during implementation. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews and institutional document reviews to identify key barriers to effective CSR. Findings reveal that despite a strong commitment to social involvement, the school grapples with three main issues: limited financial resources, inconsistent stakeholder engagement, and trust deficits within the community. These challenges hinder the sustainability and scalability of CSR initiatives. The study emphasizes the need for strategic planning, transparent communication, and stronger partnerships between schools and local communities to overcome these barriers. By analyzing the case of Mingde Experimental School, this paper contributes practical insights to the broader discourse on CSR in private education. It also proposes policy recommendations to support schools in aligning their educational mission with responsible social practices.
