No background knowledge is required — advisors and student mentors will guide you through everything from day one.MS MUN meets every Wednesday in Ms. Sypher’s room (H212).

Mock Conferences
Mock conferences are one of the most exciting parts of the MS MUN experience. They are in-house simulations where students take on the role of country delegates and work through a real committee topic using the same procedures used at official MUN conferences. Mocks give you a chance to practice your skills — speeches, negotiation, resolution writing — in a structured but supportive environment before you ever set foot at an outside conference.Current Mock: Crisis — Continent Pacifica
The MS program’s current mock conference is a crisis committee centered on a fictional geopolitical scenario: Crisis: Continent Pacifica. In a crisis committee, delegates must respond to fast-moving, unfolding events rather than debating a single static topic. This format demands quick thinking, creative diplomacy, and the ability to adapt your country’s strategy as new developments emerge in the committee room. The mock is led by an experienced student staff:| Role | Staff Member |

What to Expect
Middle school is the ideal time to build the habits that make a great MUN delegate. Here is a look at what the program will teach you:Understand How MUN Works
Your first meetings will demystify Model UN — what committees are, how sessions are structured, and what the rules of parliamentary procedure mean in practice. By the time you attend a mock or conference, the format will feel familiar.
Research a Country and Topic
Every delegate represents a specific country on a specific issue. You will learn how to research your country’s real-world foreign policy positions and translate that research into persuasive arguments.
Give Speeches
Public speaking is at the core of MUN. You will practice formal speeches (called “speakers’ list speeches”) and more informal lobbying conversations with other delegates. The club environment is encouraging — everyone is learning together.
Write Resolutions
Resolutions are the documents that committees produce to address the topic at hand. You will learn the structure of a resolution — preambulatory clauses that acknowledge background context and operative clauses that propose concrete action.
Collaborate with Fellow Delegates
MUN is a team sport as much as an individual one. Building blocs, merging working papers, and finding common ground with delegates who represent very different countries is a core skill — and one of the most rewarding parts of the activity.
