This paper aims to explore how servant leadership is practiced by principals in three newly formed Lentera Harapan Schools. It is important to investigate this approach to leadership not only because those principals are followers of Christ, but also because they are in a Christ-centered educational institution. Three principals were invited to participate in the data collection period in April 2022. Questionnaires and in-depth interviews focusing on their understanding, practice, and development of servant leadership are employed. The results showed that they have practiced servant leadership, especially in the dimension of voluntary ordination by caring and listening with intent to understand. All participants have shown that they are considering others above themselves, that they want to see the development of their students, teachers, and the community around them and even the overall education system in Indonesia. Their view and dependence on God through prayers are fundamental as they face and overcome challenges at present. It is recommended that Christian school leaders who are called to practice servant leadership need to have intensive training and mentoring to shape their leadership understanding and practices that arise from their Biblical Christian worldview.
