Islamic boarding schools as Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia face major challenges in maintaining their relevance and sustainability in the tumultuous educational era of the 21st century. To remain responsive to social dynamics, technology and globalization, the formulation of vision, mission and goals is crucial in guiding the direction and aspirations of these institutions.
