This study aims to comprehensively describe and analyze the implementation, supporting factors, inhibiting factors, and the formulation of a transformational leadership development model for the principal in improving the quality of Islamic education at MTs. Al-Basyariyah Cisurupan Garut.This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were systematically collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving key informants such as the principal, vice principals, teachers, staff, committee, and students. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The principal effectively implemented the four dimensions of transformational leadership: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Despite internal constraints such as limited digital literacy and external policy dynamics, this leadership successfully enhanced teachers' commitment, instructional innovation, students' religious character, and public trust. This research produces a novel Islamic Integrative Transformational Leadership Model, synthesizing Bernard M. Bass's four transformational dimensions with four essential Islamic values: moral, spiritual, Islamic culture, and maslahah (public benefit). This confirms that Western theories require religious integration to optimize Islamic educational institutions.
