Based on Act of the Republic of Indonesia on National Education System No. 20, year 2003 it is explained that there are three kinds of learning ways in Indonesia, namely formal education, non-formal education and informal education. Moreover, based on Act of the Republic of Indonesia on National Education System no 20 article 1 chapter 27 no 20 of 2003 states “Informal education means family education and education in surroundings”, so homeschooling is not an institution. Learning methods of homeschooling learners are more flexible than formal education, because the principle of learning homeschooling is learning anywhere, anytime, and with anyone. Flexibility does not mean it does not have a good benefit. One method of learning is a learning model introduced by a British educational figure named Charlotte Mason.
