ES1 - Model United Nations Grade level(s): Gr.6-8

This class Meets at lunch on Thursday rather than as an after school camp. The fee pays for conferences and advisors to accompany the students.

Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of the United Nations where students take on the roles of delegates representing different countries. They research global issues, write position papers, and engage in structured debates and negotiations. It’s an exciting opportunity for students to explore diplomacy, international relations, and current events while building important academic and life skills.

Why is MUN a great program for middle school students?

• Public Speaking & Debate: Students learn to express their ideas clearly and confidently in front of others.
• Critical Thinking: MUN encourages students to analyze complex global issues and propose thoughtful solutions.
• Collaboration: Delegates must work together to reach consensus, developing teamwork and leadership skills.
• Global Awareness: MUN broadens students’ understanding of the world and their role in it as future leaders.
• Confidence Building: MUN empowers students to think on their feet and speak up for their ideas.

If you sign up for first session MUN you are enrolled in this class for both sessions of enrichment. There is no additional charge for the second session.

No prior experience is required. Just curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to learn!

We hope your child will join us for this exciting journey into the world of diplomacy, leadership, and global change.
