In sustaining organisations, strategic cooperation is very important. Sustainability is crucial in recent years to maintain and sustain competitiveness in any organisation. For profit or not for profit organisations are included. This is critical for Islamic education sectors. There have been growing preferences among parents to send their children to Islamic Private Schools, particularly Islamic schools with integrated curriculum. This situation has motivated ta’awun driven strategic cooperation among Islamic Private Schools to share resources and professional development on win-win situation. This study aims to explore the influence of takmil wal istikmal (reciprocal perfecting) among Islamic Private Schools. This study uses personal interview with headmasters of Islamic Private Schools in Selangor. The results showed that ta’awun driven strategic cooperation and takmil wal istikmal occurs at minimal level in a few areas, namely sharing of curriculum development, exchange of examination papers, sharing of teaching training, and student development. The main reason for the minimal reciprocal perfecting collaboration is due to individual school governance preference. The informants suggest for formalization of the strategic cooperation through formal council or entity at the Ministry of Education through the private school department.
