Abstract

Indonesian Islamic schools known as madrasah have drawn attention worldwide due to terrorists’ affiliation with some Islamic schools in Indonesia. This study is aimed at understanding three focuses namely the definition of diversity, the benefit of diversity, and the issues of diversity in the eyes of Islamic school leaders. Diversity is a much-needed concept and program at schools amidst growing ethnic, religious, and cultural interactions among countries around the world. Today’s schools consist of teachers, administrators, students with diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. School leaders need to manage these differences into advantage factors for school performances.
