This study aims to describe the implementation of the servant leadership model of the dormitory caretaker in the formation of student discipline character at Al Wafi International Islamic Boarding School, Depok. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with the object of study being the leadership practices of the dormitory caretaker, and the research subjects include care management, caretakers, and students. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study show that, although the caretakers' leadership styles vary, they generally apply a servant-leadership model that emphasizes service-based leadership balanced with firmness in enforcing rules. The implementation of this model has consistently proven effective in fostering student discipline, developing intellectual potential and character, and cultivating students who are disciplined, responsible, and mentally strong, thereby making servant leadership appropriate for the management of boarding education in modern Islamic boarding schools.</p> Muhammad Amiq Azmi, Irfan Kuncoro, Yusuf Abdullah Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Education Management and Islamic Studies https://alwafi.ac.id/journal/index.php/stit/article/view/21 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000
