<![CDATA[This study investigates the strategic integration of the Curriculum of Love (CoL) into Islamic educational management, focusing on its role in optimizing institutional values and performance. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from three Islamic educational institutions in East Java through in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that successful integration of the CoL requires comprehensive policy alignment, value-oriented human resource management, organizational culture transformation, and the establishment of performance indicators that reflect moral-spiritual values alongside academic achievements. Effective managerial practices include vision-driven leadership, participatory decision-making, targeted teacher training, value-based performance appraisals, and restorative approaches to conflict resolution. The study contributes to the literature by framing the CoL not only as a pedagogical framework but also as a strategic management tool for enhancing institutional effectiveness. While the research is limited to a specific regional context, its implications offer a practical blueprint for policymakers, school leaders, and educators seeking to integrate value-based principles into educational governance.]]>
