01
Diplomacy
Understanding perspectives and negotiating meaningful solutions.
The Society
A society built for serious diplomacy.
Scarsdale International School Model United Nations — a permanent institution that trains delegates year-round and convenes its own conference series.
01Mission
SISMUN was created with a mission to empower young individuals to engage with global issues, think critically, communicate confidently, and become responsible global citizens.
We believe that diplomacy begins with the willingness to listen, understand perspectives different from our own, and work together toward meaningful solutions. That belief shapes how committees are run, how delegates are trained, and how conduct is enforced.
Every SISMUN room is intended to be safe, inclusive and respectful — a place where an experienced delegate and a first-time delegate can both be heard.
02Pillars
Four disciplines that define the society.
02
Leadership
Developing confidence, responsibility and decision-making.
03
Research
Investigating global issues and understanding policy.
04
Communication
Building public speaking, debate and persuasive communication.

Study guides, background papers and agenda framing — the substance delegates prepare against.

The visual identity, photography, film and written record of every session.
