Our Mission
Our mission is to promote learning and empathy for people everywhere.
​
We aim to help every learner realize his or her potential. We do this by providing learning experiences that are fun, accessible, and backed by research. Learn more about our approach.
​
Over time, we aim to increase cooperation and reduce conflict on a global scale. We do this by helping tomorrow’s leaders to build empathy and respect for people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs.
Our Story
We started in 2011 as “PenPal News” with a website that connected students to discuss current events. We soon expanded our curriculum into other subjects and changed our name to “PenPal Schools.”
PenPal Schools has evolved over the years thanks to feedback from teachers and students. We continue to learn about new trends in education and technology to improve our program.
​
So far, over half a million students from more than 130 countries have connected on PenPal Schools.
