See Photo Gallery Maria Montessori supported the work of the United Nations as a forum where peace could be created. In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors to debate current issues. Currently more than 200,000 high school and university students participate annually in the program. Many of its graduates have moved into leadership positions in every walk of life, including two US Supreme Court Justices, a High Court Commissioner and even an Academy Award© winning actor.
We are proud that this prestigious program is available for Montessori students and that we have been selected to develop the curriculum and present the program to the Montessori community. Your participation is important to the children of your classroom and to the world.
"Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war." Maria Montessori

Since November, students in Robert Goddard Montessori School's Model United Nations program have pulled out all the stops to raise money to attend a national conference in New York next month.
