Islamic boarding school education has an important position in the formation of religious knowledge, character, and independence of students, so that the decision of student guardians in choosing pesantren is an important phenomenon to be studied, especially from the perspective of parental awareness and motivation. This study aims to analyze the awareness and motivation of guardians of students in choosing pesantren education at Al Iman Sintang Islamic Boarding School and understand the meaning of these choices based on their experiences and perspectives. The research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the subjective experience, considerations, and meanings of guardians of students towards pesantren education. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically through the stages of data reduction, thematic grouping, interpretation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the motivation of guardians of students in choosing pesantren education is formed through a combination of religious awareness, expectations for the formation of morals and character, the need for a religious educational environment, and trust in the education system and pesantren development. This choice is not solely based on academic considerations, but also on the awareness that pesantren are seen as able to integrate religious education, worship habits, discipline, and personality formation. Thus, the decision of the guardian of the student to choose the Al Iman Sintang Islamic Boarding School is an action that has educational, religious, and social meaning, which is oriented towards the future and the formation of the child's self-quality.
