Model United Nations

Each school year twenty-four students have the opportunity to attend a Model United Nations Conference in Washington, DC sponsored by Georgetown University. Preparation for this four-day simulation gives students insight into what happens at the United Nations in New York. Each student assumes the leadership role of a delegate representing her assigned country, preparing background research to better understand the political, economic, and social issues of their country, relationships with other countries, and the government's stand on the assigned committee topic. The conference is intense, with delegates working together on various committees, negotiating and compromising to get resolutions written and passed. This conference gives students a chance to meet over 3,000 high school students from around the world. At the Georgetown conference, students come from 19 different countries and five continents to experience this exciting opportunity!
