Montessori Model UN
We are a global NFP Model UN and Educational program unique to the Model UN community. Our audience is teachers of students 9-15 years of age and Heads of School. Unlike other Model UNs, participants do not compete for prizes and we follow UN rules of procedure rather than Parliamentary. Our brand is well respected. Our primary participant base comes from Montessori schools, but we have participants from charter, IB, public and even home schoolers. Participating students generally perform better after completing our program and many return for multiple years. Our growth over 16 years has been through word of mouth. Our dilemmas are: How do we more effectively engage more teachers, how do we engage support for heads of school and how do we best explain the benefits of the program to parents. Currently we annually provide MMUN conferences for about 4,000 teachers and students from 20+ countries, We host two conferences in NY, usually with closing ceremonies in the General Assembly Hall.
