Model United Nations
Model United Nations is a program PAS offers to foster students’ leadership. High school students are selected as MUN delegates to attend THIMUN in Singapore, THIMUN in the Hague, or NHMUN in New York.
Through MUN program, students’ critical thinking skills are sharpened, speech and debate ability is enhanced, leadership is developed, and global issues and events are discussed.
On a visit to THIMUN in 2002, United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, stated:
“The fact that THIMUN exists to uphold the ideals of the United Nations among the young is particularly important since it is from the young that we should draw our energy and inspiration as we strive to make the United Nations effective and responsive to the needs of the people worldwide.”
