PenPals collaborate and create projects in over 50 different topics
Loved by students, teachers, and parents 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.”

"With my kid in high school, I don’t really get to read her writing anymore. It’s so fascinating, as a mother, to read her thoughts and watch her interact with her peers. I’m really enjoying getting to know my kid on a different, deeper level.”

“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."

"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!”
