Abstract

This study investigates the strategic management practices of a principal at an Integrated Islamic Primary School in Muara Badak through the lens of SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Findings reveal that the principal effectively leveraged internal strengths such as strong foundation governance, structured Islamic character education, and a supportive learning environment. Internal weaknesses, including the absence of traditional lesson planning and limited digital technology use, were addressed through pragmatic strategies that aligned with the school’s vision. External opportunities were capitalized upon by positioning the school as the only integrated Islamic institution in the region, while threats such as geographical distance were mitigated through innovative services like school transportation. Regular evaluations, external partnerships for Qur’anic education, and spiritual well-being initiatives further enhanced institutional performance. This study highlights the importance of SWOT-based strategic thinking in educational leadership and offers theoretical and practical contributions to school development. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, school principals, and education managers aiming to implement sustainable, values-driven strategies in Islamic school settings.
