Abstract: Homeschooling has become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional education, prompting ongoing discussions about its effectiveness in academic achievement and social development. This study explores the perceptions of university students regarding homeschooling, focusing on its academic, social, and adaptive advantages. Data were collected through an online survey administered to 13 students from the English Education Faculty at Kimyo International University in Tashkent (KIUT). The findings reveal that most students perceive homeschooling as a positive and flexible educational option, with notable academic and social benefits. These results highlight the importance of considering student perspectives in evaluating alternative educational approaches.
