“When I started to write to my PenPals, I was filled with excitement. It made me work harder and I obtained better results with each assignment. The cultural differences and space barriers became meaningless, and I was able to learn so much more than grammar and writing.”

“PenPal Schools is an amazing program. Our students had a chance to communicate with students outside of our area while practicing vital reading skills such as finding the main idea of a text and elaborating on the topic with evidence."

“My favorite thing about learning with PenPals was being able to talk to people from different countries. I learned you have to listen to other people's points of view. Without that, you would never learn to understand.”

"I loved getting to know other people from all over and being able to see their style of writing. I can see my PenPals' personalities in each response. For once I wanted to work on the weekends to get on PenPal Schools!”​
