Abstract

This study's goal is to examine how principal leadership contributes to bettering school quality, with an emphasis on how administration, communication, and leadership techniques affect overall academic results. At SDIT Darussalam Palembang in South Sumatra, Indonesia, data is gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation as part of a qualitative descriptive methodology. The findings show that improving teacher performance, student accomplishment, and the school's organizational culture are all significantly impacted by the principal's visionary leadership, effective communication, and cooperative management. This study offers a contextual knowledge of leadership in Islamic schools by combining Islamic-based leadership values with contemporary educational management techniques. The practical implication is that in order to develop strong teamwork and promote ongoing improvement, principals should embrace transformational and participative leadership styles. By providing a model of effective leadership that can be used as a guide by other educational institutions looking to enhance school quality through strategic leadership practices, the study adds to the body of knowledge.
