<![CDATA[School innovation is essential for improving the quality of educational services and responding to changing educational needs. This study aims to analyze human capital management (HCM) as a driver of school innovation using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) as an analytical framework. A qualitative case study was conducted at a public elementary school in Malang City, Indonesia. Data were collected during March 2026 through two in-depth semi-structured interviews with the school principal, supported by observations conducted during school activities and documentation of school photographs, institutional profiles, vision and mission statements, organizational structure, and other relevant documents. The interview guide was developed based on the nine BMC elements and adapted to the school context to facilitate the exploration of relevant information. Data were analyzed using the nine BMC elements to identify how human capital resources, capabilities, relationships, and practices support school innovation. The findings indicate that human capital management plays a central role in integrating organizational resources and activities to support school innovation. Five HCM strategies were identified: strengthening leadership and professional capacity, building a collaborative work culture, enhancing stakeholder engagement, developing digital communication capability, and optimizing strategic partnerships and human resource empowerment. These findings demonstrate that school innovation depends not only on physical and financial resources but also on the capacity of school personnel to collaborate, adapt, and implement innovative programs. The study highlights the potential of BMC as an analytical framework for formulating human capital management strategies that support sustainable school innovation.]]>
