PenPal Schools is an education app designed for children ages 7-18 to connect with peers from around the world and engage in collaborative learning. With a focus on literacy and online communication skills, PenPal Schools offers a safe and enriching platform for children to read, write, create projects, and make new friends.

The app provides a variety of activities and projects for students to explore, including working on environmental challenges, designing robots, making art, writing poems and stories, discovering new foods, creating postcards, and solving math problems. Each activity is accompanied by built-in lessons that help students learn about the world and develop their academic skills.

One of the standout features of PenPal Schools is its commitment to child safety and privacy. All children can only join the app when invited by a verified parent or teacher, ensuring a trusted community. Personally identifiable information is not required, as all messages are posted in community forums rather than through direct messaging. Parents have the ability to monitor their children's posts and the comments they receive, ensuring a safe and respectful environment.

With over 400,000 children from 150 countries and the endorsement of over 50,000 parents and teachers, PenPal Schools has gained recognition for its positive impact on children's education. The app has also received international awards, including Best Edtech of the Year from Common Sense Education.
