This article examines adaptive strategies in change management implemented in madrasahs as Islamic educational institutions in their efforts to improve educational quality. In the face of globalization, technological advancement, and local socio-cultural dynamics, madrasahs are required to undergo institutional transformation without compromising their Islamic identity. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the dynamics of change, including driving factors, encountered challenges, and effective implementation strategies. The findings reveal that the success of change management in madrasahs is highly dependent on transformative leadership, active stakeholder participation, and a strong commitment to Islamic values and vision. The adaptive strategies applied enable madrasahs to remain relevant and competitive within the national education system while preserving the distinct characteristics of Islamic education.
