STUDENT IMPACT

The Montessori Model United Nations believes in the transformative power of young people. We are dedicated to empowering the next generation of change makers, to make a real impact on their community and beyond.

Immersing students in opportunities for multicultural engagement
develops global awareness, collaborative experience,
and problem-solving skills

THIS IS HOW WE GROW THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW

1 / 8

Peer-to-peer Learning

Engaging with each other on research
and topics instills a greater understanding
of concepts

Inclusivity

Students
come together from a variety of cultures,
socio-economic backgrounds, and learning styles

Internationalism

Working with peers
from all over the world brings about awareness
of the “sameness” in human beings and
acceptance of their uniqueness

Facing real world issues

Confronting relevant and current global themes with procedures that align with the General Assembly of the United Nations exposes students to a collaborative structure for working through issues peacefully

Experiential learning

Students practice confronting others of the
same age with their unique ideas while improving their communication skills and English language ability

Educational Impact

The MMUN program fits any curriculum because it shares
the objective of stimulating students to learn and develop their skills

Community impact

As students participate in the well-being
of their community and in fundraising activities,
their work becomes an engine of change

Parent Involvement

Parents are involved in supporting their children
and accompanying students as they pursue
a multitude of developmental objectives
