Etichal leadership and integrity are fundamental dimensions in organizational management, particularly within Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the concept, characteristics, and implementation of ethical leadership and integrity in Indonesian Islamic schools. Utilizing a library research approach with content analysis methodology, the research systematically examines literature related to ethical norms and integrity indicators in leadership. The findings indicate that ethical leadership is defined as the demonstration of behavior aligned with ethical norms by organizational leaders, both in personal actions and interpersonal interactions. Integrity is viewed through six primary indicators: adherence to codes of ethics, managing conflicts of interest, responsible use of authority, accountability, public service, and person-to-person approaches. The implementation in the Islamic educational context highlights a blend of Pancasila values ideal, instrumental, and practical and the prophetic leadership demonstrated by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Overall, ethical leadership and integrity are crucial in fostering organizational trust, improving moral culture, and ensuring responsible governance in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.
