Abstract

Background: Environmental degradation calls madrasahs to practice governance that is not only transparent and accountable but also rooted in Islamic eco-theological values. This study focuses on how leadership can integrate Good School Governance with the principles of khalīfah fī al-arḍ and amanah in daily institutional practice. Purpose: This research aims to analyse how eco-theological values are integrated into Good School Governance through the principal’s leadership at MIS Norhidayah Pundu. Method: The study employs a qualitative intrinsic case study design, using participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with the principal and teachers, and analysis of institutional documents related to governance and environmental programs. Findings: The findings reveal four pillars of eco-theology-based GSG: (1) transparency guided by a “Green Madrasah” vision; (2) participatory conservation and waste management practices; (3) accountability through environmentally oriented budgeting, energy conservation, and eco-friendly facilities; and (4) integration of Islamic and environmental values into the curriculum and madrasah culture. Inclusive and spiritually transformational leadership enables governance to move beyond administrative compliance toward sustainability grounded in religious motivation.
