Last week, West Side Montessori Middle School had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) conference in New York City. MMUN is a unique program that simulates the United Nations General Assembly for middle school and upper elementary students, offering them a chance to step into the roles of global delegates. Through this experience, students develop critical skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and global awareness while learning that their voices matter in shaping the world around them.
West Side Montessori is an independent, accredited Montessori school educating children 13 months through 8th grade (preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school). We are one of the leading private schools in Toledo and the nation.
