INTRODUCTION  \nEducational leadership plays a pivotal role in determining the quality of learning and overall school effectiveness (Hallinger, 2018: 12) . Strong leadership is particularly crucial in Islamic schools, where the integration of religious values with academic excellence forms the foundation of education (Hadi & Yusuf, 2021: 45) . Principals who adopt effective leadership models can significantly enhance teacher performance, student engagement, and institutional outcomes. However, many Islamic schools in Indonesia struggle to implement structured leadership approaches, resulting in inconsistent educational quality. This study explores how instructional leadership—a model that emphasizes curriculum development, teacher support, and student learning—can address these challenges and elevate educational standards in Islamic institutions.  \nDespite the critical role of leadership, many Islamic schools in Indonesia face significant challenges, including unclear leadership models and insufficient principal involvement in instructional matters (Suryadi & Karim, 2022: 34) . These shortcomings often translate into poor academic outcomes, as evidenced by low rankings in national exams such as the Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer (UTBK) . For instance, Istikomah (2024, 92) reports that only 15% of Islamic senior high schools in Depok scored above the national UTBK average in 2023, highlighting a systemic issue in educational quality. Such disparities underscore the urgent need for effective leadership strategies to improve student competitiveness and institutional performance.  \nRegarding the challenges above, instructional leadership has been widely advocated as an effective model for enhancing school quality, particularly in contexts where academic performance lags behind national standards (Hallinger & Murphy, 2018: 23) .
