PenPals Schools makes project-based learning easy.
Loved by students & teachers in 150 countries!
“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.”

"My students cared much more about the quality of their work because they were writing to their peers in another country."

“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.”

“My favorite thing about learning with PenPals is that you get to communicate with lots of people from around the world and I can share my culture with others. I learned that the more you contribute, the more you connect with other people.”

"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!”
