SchoolM@il is a unique email system.

A blog not only helps to develop reading and writing skills but also promotes cultural exchange and the introduction of new ideas from around the world.
Another notable ePals offering is In2Books. In2Books pairs each student with another adult mentor. This e-mentoring program is designed so that informative, entertaining and challenging books such as novels and autobiographies are read and studied with the guidance of an adult. The ideas, concepts and conversations that result in reading a challenging book also encourage literacy.
Mr. Tim DiScipio, the founder of ePals is launching ePals in Asia commencing in Thailand. Thailand has been selected as the first nation to launch ePals. Thailand is recognized as a leading force for the development of e-learning in Asia.

In addition, students are protected from inappropriate content through the L.E.A.P safe browser. ePals will be available in Thai in the very near futu re.
Mr. Chanarong Luckshnyanauin, Executive Vice President of L.E.A.P. Global and Executive Vice President of Pasanusornbangkae schools, is pleased to be among the first schools to push for a safe, efficient and educational experience for students on the internet. Mr. Chanarong, through his 20 years of experience in education has never ceased seeking innovative e-learning and internet safety offerings and has found the ultimate offering in the L.E.A.P. and ePals collaboration.
