Learn at Home with MontanaPBS
As schools navigate balancing in-person and distance learning, MontanaPBS will continue to support educators and families by launching a fall Learn at Home broadcast curriculum and provide corresponding free digital resources. This new schedule begins September 8 and continues through the end of the semester on December 18. MontanaPBS is proud to provide meaningful media resources for educators, parents and families at school, via distance learning, or at home. We have collected a list of virtual and professional development assets for educators, as well as a list of educational resources for all grade levels.
If you have questions about taking your class online or want to learn more about specific resources, please contact our education team:

Curriculum-Related Programming with MontanaPBS
MontanaPBS will dedicate its daytime weekday schedule to Montana state standards-aligned educational programming provided by MontanaPBS and the Office of Public Instruction. The 6:30am to 5:30pm weekday schedule includes specific blocks of time for pre-K through 8th grade levels and covers subjects including language arts, social studies, science and math. MontanaPBS’ regular primetime schedule is not affected by this change.
