Students in the PYP typically participate in PenPal Schools topics during their units of inquiry, or during their PYP exhibition. Any of the PenPal Schools topics could be used to support students with their collaborative exhibition project.

​As a supplementary resource, PenPal Schools topics support the PYP units of inquiry. Topics are transdisciplinary and align to a project-based learning format. All of the project options, lessons, and a collaborative community of global PenPals are ready for you. Simply join and enroll your students to get started!
