Model UN Club

The Model UN Spring Session is here! We invite new and former students to join us for our final 8-week session of the year.

Model United Nations (or Model UN) is an authentic simulation of the United Nations General Assembly in which students act as country delegates and engage in acts of diplomacy, negotiation, and decision making. The program is offered through Global Minds, LLC, founded in 2021 by former Bells Mill/Cabin John parents, Audré Park and Shreelata Durbhakula.

Cabin John Model UN programs are open to 6th – 8th graders.

Students meet with instructors weekly and will have the opportunity to attend five Model UN Conferences. Conferences are hosted by local schools, universities and the U.S. Department of State. We are also excited to announce that our very own Cabin John MS will host their first conference CJMUNC I on May 3!

Dates & Times:

  • Model UN Advanced (2+ years), Tuesdays 3:15pm – 4:15pm – February 25 – April 22
  • Model UN, Thursdays, 3:15pm – 4:15pm – February 27 – April 24

Cost: $225 (8 weeks)

Siblings enrolled in the same session receive a 5% discount. Registration is risk-free. To cancel registration for a full refund, request a cancellation 24 hours before the second class. (There are additional conference expenses ranging from $20 ~ $60 that are charged by individual conferences. Attending conferences are optional.)
