The design of schools, as part of the educational environment, plays a crucial role in shaping cultural identity and enhancing the quality of student learning. In Islamic societies, it is essential for these spaces to be designed according to Islamic principles and teachings, so that they not only reflect religious and cultural values but also address contemporary educational needs. This research aims to identify the principles of Islamic architecture and align them with modern educational requirements, offering a proposed framework for school design. The research methodology includes a comparative study of past literature, analysis of successful Islamic school examples in Iran and other countries, and the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for weighting the criteria. The main identified criteria include strengthening Islamic values, value and philosophical principles, flexibility of spaces, interaction with nature, Islamic aesthetics, modern educational technologies, and group activities. The findings indicate that the criterion of 'strengthening Islamic values' has the highest weight (35.47%), making it the most significant factor in school design. Furthermore, designing educational spaces based on Islamic principles while incorporating elements such as natural light, flexibility, and connection with nature positively influences learning and social interactions among students. The proposed framework serves as a practical guide for architects and designers to create inspiring, dynamic, and effective schools that not only facilitate learning but also enhance students' sense of belonging and cultural identity. This research contributes to the enhancement of quality school design in Islamic societies by providing practical recommendations.
