<![CDATA[This study aims to formulate an integrated Smart Pesantren framework for strengthening the digital transformation of Islamic boarding schools while preserving their religious identity, cultural traditions, and educational values. The study employed a qualitative library research method through critical analysis and synthesis of recent scholarly literature on educational technology, digital transformation, pesantren digitalization, digital literacy, digital leadership, and Islamic education. The findings demonstrate that Smart Pesantren development requires the integration of six interrelated dimensions: digital infrastructure, digital pedagogy, digital governance, human digital competence, Islamic digital literacy, and data-informed institutional development. These dimensions indicate that technology can enhance learning accessibility, pedagogical effectiveness, administrative efficiency, institutional communication, Qur’anic learning, and educational services when supported by competent leadership, teacher readiness, adequate infrastructure, cybersecurity, ethical governance, and cultural compatibility. The novelty of this study lies in proposing an integrated Smart Pesantren framework that conceptualizes digital technology not as a substitute for pesantren traditions but as a strategic instrument for strengthening them. The framework integrates digital transformation with Islamic values, kyai leadership, santri development, educational quality, institutional intelligence, and sustainable learning ecosystems]]>
