Abstract

Objective: To investigate how student wellbeing is realized in Islamic junior high schools, examine the implementation of the We Are Family (WAF) school culture program, identify the character outcomes generated through the program, and develop a conceptual model of a wellbeing-based school culture.  Method: A qualitative multi-site case study design was employed at two Islamic junior high schools in Sidoarjo. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving principals, vice principals, program teachers, and students. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, followed by cross-site analysis to identify convergent and divergent patterns. Results:  The findings reveal that student wellbeing is realized through four interconnected dimensions: academic, psychological, social, and spiritual wellbeing. The WAF program operates through a relational culture characterized by familial climate, emotional-spiritual support, collective character development, and school-family collaboration. The program contributes to the development of responsibility, empathy, value-based discipline, mutual respect, sense of belonging, and independence. Cross-site analysis further identifies six essential elements of a wellbeing-based school culture: values-based environment, transformational leadership, psychological safety, dialogic communication, developmental discipline, and school-family collaboration.  Novelty: Contributes to SDGs 4 by porposing the WAF School Culture Model and introduces spiritual wellbeing as a distinct fourth dimension of student wellbeing, extending existing wellbeing frameworks by integrating organizational culture, positive psychology, character education, and faith-based educational perspectives into a comprehensive school wellbeing framework.

Abstract

Objective: Student well-being has become an increasingly important indicator of educational quality; however, existing research has largely examined it through individual programmes or psychological interventions rather than as a product of school culture. This article investigates how Family-Oriented School Culture fosters student well-being in Islamic junior high schools. Method: A qualitative multisite case study was conducted in two Islamic junior high schools in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analysed through within-site and cross-site analysis, with triangulation employed to enhance credibility. Result: Analysis identified four interconnected dimensions of Family-Oriented School Culture: (1) a family-like school climate, (2) emotional and spiritual support, (3) collective character development, and (4) non-academic support systems. Together, these dimensions formed an integrated organizational culture that strengthened students' sense of belonging, emotional security, responsibility, empathy, discipline, and interpersonal relationships. Positive character and well-being developed simultaneously through sustained interactions among teachers, students, families, and the wider school community rather than through isolated support programmes. Novelty: By conceptualizing Family-Oriented School Culture as an organizational mechanism for student well-being, the article extends existing literature that primarily emphasizes individual interventions and school climate as separate constructs. The proposed framework offers practical guidance for school leaders in developing safe, inclusive, supportive, and family-oriented educational environments that contribute to student well-being and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4.
