The advancement of special schools represents the degree of civilization and education of a country. A principal plays a vital role in school development and student academic achievements. Currently, special education is still in its infancy, as even studies on leadership at special schools are quite limited. This study selected one special school in Taiwan as its subject, conducted interviews, and analyzed the leadership practices of the principal from five orientations: structuring style, personnel development style, participative style, instructional style, and entrepreneurial style. This research reaches the following conclusions: First, the principal adheres to visually impaired student-centered educational philosophy, while the school provides safe and friendly accommodations and accessibility. Second, the principal facilitates teachers to enhance their expertise, drives the teacher professional evaluation, and promotes team teaching for teachers of the blind and the sighted. Third, the principal points out the right professional directions and adopts flexible leadership. The administrative team has a stable composition and good communication and interaction. The publishing center offers important logistical support such as braille textbooks and aids. Furthermore, the school has multiple curricula and teaching approaches to meet the needs of students of different departments. The principal focuses on individual education and adopts multiple teaching approaches such as group teaching. Fourth and lastly, the principal introduces a variety of resources to assist disadvantaged students and parents, strengthens the involvement of and contact with parents, and upholds the strategy to build up the school brand in line with the current trend of a low national birth rate.
