Model UN

Negotiate world peace.

Learn about the United Nations and the Security Council. Research, think, write, debate, and negotiate. Act as an ambassador to the UN, and draft resolutions to solve global problems.

Students in Model UN discuss current events, research issues, and represent different perspectives in a structured, team-based setting. With clear guidance and steady practice, students build confidence as they learn how Model UN debates work and how to participate effectively.

Students explore the structure and purpose of the United Nations, examine the role of NGOs, learn Model UN vocabulary, and analyze international challenges such as sustainable development. They practice research skills, write position papers, prepare working papers, and take part in frequent debates where they speak for their assigned countries. Through collaborative role-playing, consensus-building exercises, and structured discussions, students sharpen their public speaking, negotiation, and critical-thinking skills.

Families receive a video of speeches from the final project students work on. Students leave the course with stronger communication skills, a deeper understanding of global issues, and the confidence to join Model UN clubs and conferences in the future.
