This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of the high teacher turnover rate in private schools and to identify opportunities for institutional development using a qualitative approach. The main issues addressed are the factors causing teacher turnover, its impact on organizational performance, and the managerial strategies implemented by the school principal to address it. Research data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of teachers. The results indicate that internal factors such as welfare, workload, and job satisfaction, as well as external factors in the form of job offers from other institutions, are the primary causes of the high turnover. The principal's transformational leadership was proven to significantly influence maintaining teacher stability and loyalty, accompanied by strategies to strengthen organizational culture and a reward system.
