Our Pen pal Program
What about starting the connection in class?
Dive with your students into new cultures and language by rediscovering meaningful conversations and exchanges.
We believe that pen pals is a great way to start educational connections between the Caribbean and the United States, and learn from each other. It gives students the opportunity to talk to someone they would otherwise not meet in real life. And this without the need of traveling immediatly to a foreign country.
Then this connection will naturally turn into willingness of an immersion in each others environment and can be concretized via school trips.
By participating in our pen pal program, schools can receive up to 25% discount on our trips!​
Improve your students skills
Your students can learn and practice a foreign language with a native speaker, practice their writing skills and vocal expression and improve communication and social skills with the collaboration.

It's also an opportunity to build bridges and create links between
disciplines like geography, history, sociology.

​Pen-pal exchange offers the opportunity for your students to learn about different cultures as they can share information about their customs, traditions and daily lives with their pen-pal, to broaden their horizons and to learn about a different country.
It develops curiosity, compassion, understanding of other cultures and enables your students to grow to be more open-minded individuals.
