Abstract

This study aims to analyze the genealogy of visionary leadership in Islamic boarding schools in building a sustainable education ecosystem by examining the process of vision inheritance, leadership practices, and their implications for the education system. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study conducted at the Darussalam Blokagung Islamic Boarding School. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Data analysis involved reduction, display, data verification, and conclusion drawing. The results show that visionary leadership in Islamic boarding schools is formed through a combination of traditional charisma, spiritual values, and adaptation to contemporary issues such as sustainability, digitalization, and community empowerment. This leadership has given rise to an educational ecosystem that integrates religion, science, economic independence, and ecological awareness. This study contributes to enriching the literature on Islamic educational leadership and offers a model of pesantren leadership that is relevant to global challenges while supporting the sustainable development agenda..
