The objective of this study is to find the headmaster leadership model implemented in Banat Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) Islamic Senior High School Kudus. Ethnographic research method was employed to this study. Moreover, the data were collected through observation, interview, documentation and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Those data were analyzed by using Miles and Huberman theories. The result of this study showed that the Headmaster applied religious transformational leadership model which emphasizes on schools' vision and mission as well as the school goals which are based on Tawhid. Alternatively, the achievement of the school also cannot be separated from the roles of the school's leaders. Theoretically, this research can be used as a study on good leadership models by headmaster. Practically, the result of this study can be utilized as a model that can be applied in other Islamic Senior High Schools. Copy Right, IJAR, 2017,.

Introduction:- The historical development of madrasah was highly related to the educational culture in Islamic Boarding School and the role of religious scholars as prominent figures in leading the institution. According Mulyasa (2002: 75) Madrasah is an educational institution which organizes formal religious-based education services for wider community. The educational objective of the school is to provide public education and religious services for the community. Establishing a qualified Islamic School is a shared responsibility between government, community and education providers. All interested parties are united and work together for mutual support of the realization of the ideals of madrasah, which is to realize universal, spiritual and physical education as well as happiness of the world and the hereafter. Madrasah can be a representative place for learning and teaching for everyone. Therefore, science practitioners have made a madrasah as a place to spend time to study. In contrast to the general boarding schools, madrasah is a formal institution that already has structured, planned, and accountable learning systems in all its aspects.
