Equivalency education is non-formal education carried out for those who cannot access formal primary and secondary education. It is carried out in some diversification services, one of which is through homeschooling. This study aims to explore how equivalency education applied through homeschooling. The study employed a qualitative research approach which utilized exploratory method. Interview and observation were used to collect the required information carried out to homeschooling institution, families of homeschoolers, and CLCs. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings are (1) homeschooler generally has a strong consideration to choose homeschooling (2) homeschoolers have different strategy and methods in which emphasis more on the optimization of talents, interests and aspirations of learners, (3) learning resources are designed to meet the learning style, time, and facilities; and (4) the progress of learners is evaluated directly by the parents and/or by the "umbrella school". Therefore, the collaboration between nonformal institutions such as Community Learning Centers and Homeschooling institutions with homeschooler families as informal "institution" in carrying out equivalency education is highly needed especially for quality assurance of learning process and evaluation.
