Education is a process of transferring knowledge, culture, and values. The form of the transfer process is communication and teaching and learning interaction. According to Mehrabian and nonverbal communication experts, the effectiveness of nonverbal communication is higher than verbal communication. This study aims to describe a model of using nonverbal communication in the process of transferring knowledge, culture, and values in two junior high schools. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to SMP Bina Negara 2 Kab. Bandung and MTs At-Tawazun Kab. Subang. The respondents of this study were principals, teachers, education staff, and students. The results showed that in the two schools there was already an awareness of the importance of utilizing nonverbal communication in the education and learning process. The implementation of this awareness has been shown in the form of distance (proxemic) and seating arrangements. However, the use of nonverbal communication has only been implemented by individual teachers, not yet in the form of an institutionalized program.
