This study aims to describe and explain the curriculum development planning at three universities based on boarding schools and conceptually enrich the theory of educational management. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with three sites. Data collection is conducted through observation, interviews, field notes and documentation. The analysis used is single site analysis and continued cross-site analysis. The validity of data findings was checked by examining four criteria, namely: 1. Degree of trust/credibility (credibility) 2. Transferability, 3. Dependability, 4. Certainty (confirmability). Researchers use all the criteria in checking the validity of data. The findings of this cross-site study show that those three universities, in planning the development of Life Skills curriculum, focus on: vision and mission, community needs, college load, lecturer's materials, curriculum integration, elective courses, learning facilities, learning processes based on Student Center Learning, model of democratic leadership that is mutually agreed, so as to maintain and accommodate all elements, functions and roles of the study program, and type of planning direction above (bottom up planning). This research is different from other research because the objects of this research have never been studied on its Life Skill development curriculum development planning. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
