Simulation

Model United Nations (MUN) students take on the role of a diplomat from a specific country and represent that country in a simulated United Nations committee during a one-to-three day conference.

Research

Students prepare for MUN conferences by researching world issues and the positions of the countries they will represent.

Leadership

Tustin MUN students grow as leaders in their four years in the program, serving as mentors to younger students and as the coordinators of Tustin's own MUN conference.

Debate & Diplomacy

During these conferences, Tustin students interact with students from other schools, debating the issues they have researched.

Community

MUN is also a family! Students make life long friends and mentors from across grade levels. Because students meet as freshmen and grow through the grade levels together, many of our MUNers remain friends for life!

Global Service

All MUN students work toward improving their global awareness by devising and executing a Capstone service project over their four years in MUN based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Travel

THSMUN travels yearly to compete in Northern California, Europe and the East Coast! Travel is an amazing opportunity for students to see the world and experience other cultures as part of their school curriculum.
