The research was conducted by using a qualitative approach and descriptive method. The research participants were nine first-grade students at one of the public senior high school in Karawang. The participants were divided into three groups: three low-level students, three middle-level students, and three high-level students. To collect the data, researchers used were observation, interview, and documentation. This research found that the application of a flipped classroom provided positive experiences for students.
