A Homeschool Hidden Gem: 5 Reasons You Need PBS’s Streaming Service

PBS Passport is a hidden gem in the homeschool world. A huge library of quality shows, this is a MUST-HAVE homeschool resource…for any age!

Peanut butter & jelly
Tacos & Tuesdays
Sesame Street & preschoolers

You say one & think of the other.

But PBS’s greatness doesn’t end with Oscar, Mr. Rogers, and the gang at Electric Company.

When the kids grow up, PBS Passport to the rescue. And it’s not one that gets mentioned often in homeschool groups.

But, oh, what a resource it is! I first learned of it in 2016 and it quickly became one of our most-used resources for history, geography, science, and free-learning time.

1. My PBS station offers this benefit for just $60/year, but that can vary by the station. What other streaming service can you get for that low of a price?
   
2. Watch it wherever. We watch it on the TV (through an app for your smart TV), on the iPad when we’re on-the-go or, rarely, straight from our computer. Add shows to My List for easily finding the shows you want to watch.
   
3. Access a HUGE database of quality programming. PBS is one of the most trusted sources for news & programming and for good reason. With PBS Passport, you’ll have access to far more programming than you can otherwise access.
   
4. No ads, no distractions. And if they get distracted by another show? No worries that they’re watching some prank video, the next episode of The Mandalorian, or the newest Boss Baby movie!
