  • D & D meets international diplomacy, in a marginally competitive setting. Hundreds of thousands of students worldwide take part in MUN every year at all educational levels. Many of today’s leaders in law, government, business and the arts – including at the UN itself – participated in Model UN as student.

    The United Nations Model UN Programme aims to build and maintain strong links between the UN and Model UN participants across the globe. It does that through guides and workshops, which teach students how to make their simulations more accurate; by visiting Model UN conferences and sharing firsthand knowledge of what the actual UN is like; and through encouraging Model UN clubs to take real action to support UN values and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    We attend one local conference a month and one traveling conference a year.

    Tues/Thurs.

    Grade 8-12.

  • Students participating in Kanikapila Collective will learn about the major Polynesian islands’ culture and their dances to help connect our community to Hawaii.
