Why MUN is right for your child over Debate
In MUN students don't just argue to win, they learn about US and global issues from many different perspectives & collaborate with their peers
to lead, influence others, & create solutions together. In this era of polarization, MUN teaches
diplomacy, critical thinking, and respectful dialogue—skills every future leader needs.
