Madrasah Introduction Education in today's era of globalization demands that educational institutions emphasize not only academic achievement but also balance it with the development of non-academic potential that reflects students' interests and talents. Unfortunately, in practice, many educational institutions still focus solely on academic achievement, while under-emphasizing non-academic achievements. This results in students' truly extraordinary potential in sports, the arts, and social skills being under-explored. Student management, as a crucial component of educational management, plays a strategic role in creating a balanced and effective learning climate. This management is not merely administrative but encompasses a coaching process aimed at developing all aspects of the student's personality in an integrated manner. According to (Nur'Azah, 2. , student management in the context of Islamic education must combine an administrative approach with character and spiritual development to create students who excel not only academically but also possess good personality and morals.

This finding is supported by research (Madrasah, 2. , which states that the success of madrasas in producing high-achieving students is greatly influenced by systematic management that is responsive to student needs. MTsN 1 Jombang was chosen as the research location due to its strong reputation for student management and consistent year-over-year achievement.

This fact suggests that the school's success is highly dependent on the implementation of structured and systematic student management. However, there remains a gap in previous research, which generally focuses on the administrative aspects of student management without directly linking it to improved academic and non-academic achievement. Therefore, this study seeks to fill this gap by in-depthly describing how student management strategies at MTsN 1 Jombang can improve achievement holistically. The benefit of this research is to theoretically enrich the body of knowledge in Islamic educational management, particularly in student management that integrates academic and non-academic potential. The purpose of this study is to describe the form of student management implemented at MTsN 1 Jombang, the academic and non-academic achievements achieved, and how this management supports the synergistic improvement of both types of achievement.

Nur 'Azah2 Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Darussalam (JMPID) Vol. No. Page: 225-234. September 2025 ISSN: 2722-7146 (Online Medi. Based on research findings, student management at MTsN 1 Jombang reflects the implementation of structured management functions as proposed by Terry R. George . through the POAC (Planning. Organizing. Actuating, and Controllin. This management implementation significantly contributes to academic and non-academic achievement.

Good organization supports the effectiveness of the school's organizational structure, as Hasibuan . notes , stating that a clear work structure encourages efficiency and effectiveness in achieving the institution's goals. The implementation of coaching through superior classes and extracurricular activities in a targeted manner demonstrates the application of a holistic educational approach, as explained by Suryosubroto, nd. , where the development of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects must be carried out in a balanced manner. This also reinforces the idea (Gardner 1. in the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, that students have different potentials that must be facilitated by the school. This research reinforces the findings of Mutohar & Trisnantari . , which emphasized that good student management directly impacts academic and nonacademic achievement. Meanwhile, findings by Irmanisa and Hakim . indicate that successful extracurricular development also strengthens student engagement and creates a positive learning climate. Interview results indicate that MTsN 1 Jombang has successfully improved academic and non-academic achievement through effective student management.

With well-planned programs and adequate support, the madrasah can help students develop their full potential. The annual increase in student achievement also demonstrates the effectiveness of the development program. Rewards for high-achieving students and the active involvement of teachers and parents are key factors in building motivation and a culture of achievement. This is reinforced by McClelland's motivation theory . , which states that individual achievement is highly dependent on challenges, social support, and rewards. The discipline implemented by the disciplinary team also contributes to a conducive learning environment.
