25 Best Educational YouTube Channels

We are so blessed to live in a time when there are so many educational resources available to us at our fingertips at any moment. The internet, computers, and electronic devices have opened the world up to us.

One of our favorite internet resources for homeschooling is You Tube. We like to use You Tube videos to supplement what we are learning in our curriculum or to spark interest in other areas. It is so easy to search for videos about almost any topic, but sometimes we have to wade through a ton of junk to find the good stuff.

Over the years, we have discovered some really great educational You Tube channels that we keep going back to. I subscribe to those channels so I can find them easily and so I am notified when new content is added. Here are a few of our favorites, plus a few that other homeschool families have recommended.
