About

We’re thrilled to welcome you to the Schoolhouse Fall Model United Nations (MUN) Series!

Get ready for a journey into the world of international diplomacy, teamwork, and global problem-solving.

What is an MUN and Why Participate?
For those new to the concept, MUN stands for Model United Nations, where participants take on the roles of country representatives to tackle real-world global issues. MUNs are an amazing way to build skills in public speaking, negotiation, and critical thinking while exploring international relations. Through this series, we aim to bring you a dynamic and educational experience, allowing you to participate in meaningful debates and make impactful resolutions.


Committee Agendas:
  • UNSC:
Addressing the Crisis in Afghanistan: Security and Humanitarian Solutions

  • INTERPOL:
Countering Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery

  • SOCHUM:
The Global Refugee Crisis: Ensuring Protection and Integration

  • DISEC:
Reducing the Threat of Biological and Chemical Weapons

  • WHO:
Global Health Security: Preparedness for Future Pandemics


Each committee will have six committee sessions across the event, where delegates will work through discussions, debates, collaborative resolution drafting, and voting processes. These committee sessions will run for about an hour each, giving delegates the chance to develop thoughtful solutions while working alongside peers.

How to Participate:
1. Register for the Main Series to join the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Training Sessions.
2. Complete the Committee Preference Form to select your preferred committee.
3. Get assigned to your committee and receive access to Committee Background Guides, Rules of Procedure, and the official MUN Brochure.

6. Attend and participate in the conference, engaging in discussions, drafting resolutions, and collaborating on innovative solutions.

Delegates who participate in minimum three sessions will receive a certificate of participation, with certificates of excellence and awards rewarded to top delegates. The Best Delegate from each committee will also receive exclusive Schoolhouse merchandise!

About the Tutors

Hey there, it's Anshu! I'm a curious person who loves to learn, explore, and research. Physics and Mathematics are my favourite subjects, and I could talk about them for hours. When I'm not busy unravelling the mysteries of the universe or diving deep into the mind-boggling world of physics theories and equations, you can find me hacking (don't worry, always ethically 😉), coding and losing myself in the pages of a great book. And if that's not enough, you might catch me debating in exhilarating MUNs! Looking forward to seeing you in my sessions!

Hi! I'm a junior in highschool brought up in the US, but recently moved to India, so I know how the education system works in both countries. I completed my IGCSE/Cambridge Board in 10th grade. Now, I am pursuing the IBDP curriculum. I want to network with other students, share my understanding and knowledge, and of course learn from other tutors as well.

Hey there, I'm Sarah!! I'm a high school student from Tennessee, and I play the piano and the violin and also figure skate. One of my greatest loves in life is music; I listen to many many different artists and genres (my current fixation is Une barque sur l'ocean by Ravel), so if you ever need a music recommendation, I would be thrilled to suggest a song or piece:). In addition to music, I'm passionate about the environment, fashion, math, and much more.

I'm an international student who really believes in the power of peer-to-peer interactions. In particular, I truly think they are powerful because they prove that math is way easier than your handbook seems to suggest. I’m also very into history. In my free time, I learn foreign languages and read.

⭐ ABOUT ME: I am a rising Senior from Georgia (country). I am a founder of the first Key Club in my country & AAT Competitions (organization, which hosts competitions in various fields). I am a bank intern at the country's top1 Bank according to Forbes & one of the largest national broadcasting channels (in finances). I have written two dictionaries + translated Georgian rugby founder's book from Georgian to English. I have participated in two HIGHLY selective research programs (Lumiere + Pioneer) in Economics and Finances. I have multiple awards on competitions from various fields like Math, Economics, Robotics, and Research. 👩‍🏫 TUTORING EXPERIENCE: Besides Schoolhouse, I've been a tutor in multiple different organizations. I was a co-founder and lead organizer of a STEM Summer School for Georgian public schools' students. I was a volunteering English teacher for 5-6th graders, English Assistant Teacher at a Georgian Summer School, Math Teacher at a Georgian school's Saturday School. (I can't name the schools because of Schoolhouse policy:) ) 📚 SAT EXPERIENCE: I am an author of SAT Math Dictionary. I've written SAT once and got the score that I wanted. I have paid for tutors and courses, but I realized that they were a waste of money. I have figured out the best study techniques you can use for achieving your target score: what resources you can use, how you can use them, how to set up an effective study plan, all the tips & tricks the tutors one pays for don't tell you. I know how to approach different types of questions, and I am more than willing to share my knowledge and experience with you!
