<![CDATA[Educational quality does not occur by chance; it results from strategic planning that is systematically designed, implemented, and evaluated. This article examines a strategic planning framework for educational quality consisting of three stages, namely strategic planning, implementing plans, and quality implications, and reflects on it in the development of Islamic education. The framework is applied to flagship religious programs, namely Qur'anic sciences and kitab kuning education, as well as interest- and talent-based extracurricular programs covering calligraphy, rhetoric, albanjari, computer/IT, scientific writing, qiraah, martial arts, and science olympiad. The study uses library research, reviewing the literature on strategic educational management and Islamic education management. The findings show that strategic planning covers formulating plans, stakeholder participation, and resource mobilization; implementation covers resource allocation, translating plans into actions, and monitoring and revision; and quality implications appear in effective use of resources, improved learning and facilities, and increased stakeholder trust. Extracurricular programs complement the flagship religious programs by opening pathways for developing students' potential. These three stages need to be integrated with the values of tauhid, deliberation (musyawarah), and trustworthiness (amanah) to produce holistic Islamic education quality.]]>
