The population for this study comprised 204 parents of students currently enrolled at Sekolah Kids Republic Jakarta. A sample of 68 parents was selected using a sampling technique with a 10% margin of error. The analysis used the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The study yielded the following findings: (1) Perceived value has a significant and dominant influence on parents' decisions in choosing Sekolah Kids Republic Jakarta; (2) Word of Mouth (WoM) has a relatively weak and statistically insignificant influence on these decisions; and (3) The combined effect of WoM and perceived value moderately explains the variance in parents' decisions, supporting the hypothesis that both variables together significantly influence decision-making, with perceived value playing a more dominant role.]]>
