The present article describes the main qualities and strategies of the school´s Principal leadership in a school in the
region of Ñuble, Chile. The analysis of the case study is carried out by using a qualitative methodology with an
interpretative approach, by means of the conduction and analysis of 12 interviews and 1 focus group to different
actors of the educational community. Based on the methodology proposed by the International Successful School
Principalship Project (ISSPP), we address the challenges posed in the context of school management, the
contributions of the school management team, the integration of students coming from different social and cultural
backgrounds, and the raising of achievement levels in the school. The study concludes that the qualities and
strategies that characterize the school leadership evidence a successful leadership, as demonstrated by the integration
of the three types of leadership: transformational, distributed, and pedagogical.
