United Nations
International School

10. he United States
Tenjoys many diverse
cultures, races, and
ethnicities. Its multicultural
setting assures that all
communities are accepted
and nurtured. For pupils,
the country provides a rich
and interesting educational
experience because they
will be learning alongside
peers from various corners
of the world.
They develop strong
personality traits and
marketable abilities as a
result of growing up in a
diverse environment.
Employers today favour
candidates with a
multicultural background,
which students would
greatly experience in the US.
Students will have unique
foreign exposure as they
travel to the US to learn
about a range of foods,
customs, festivals, and
forms of art.
United Nations
International School
(UNIS) is the prime
example of how the
educational institutes in the
USA are fostering a
culturally rich environment
to provide ideal education.
Founded in 1947 by a
group of United Nations
parents to provide an
international education for
their children, UNIS has
grown into an
internationally recognized
educational institution.
Our goal is to inspire
students to become
compassionate and
informed global leaders
who can contribute to
shaping a better world.
“
“

11. UNIS was one of the
founding schools of the
International Baccalaureate
(IB) and was among those
awarding the irst diplomas.
Today, UNIS has 1,450
students, is located in
Manhattan, and just
celebrated 75 years of
excellence in education. Its
curriculum and teaching
methods have been
designed to foster critical
thinking, empathy, and
global citizenship, which
has historically prepared
students to become
responsible and engaged
members of society.
Designing Compassionate
Global Leaders
As a school operating under
the auspices of the United
Nations, UNIS has a unique
mission and identity. It is
committed to promoting the
principles and values of the
UN, including respect for
human rights, diversity, and
sustainability. Its curriculum
is designed to cultivate
global citizenship and
intercultural understanding,
emphasizing the importance
of dialogue, collaboration,
and responsible action.
These values are woven into
the fabric of the school
community, shaping
relationships, policies, and
practices. The goal of the
school is to inspire students
to become compassionate
and informed global leaders
who can contribute to
shaping a better world.
The unique connection
between UNIS and the
United Nations is a major
factor behind the success of
the school. Through this
relationship, UNIS is able to
attract highly quali ied and
diverse faculty and students
from all over the world,
which makes the
community so culturally
rich.
Its students are exposed
to unique learning
opportunities at all ages
made possible by this
strong relationship.
Students have the
opportunity to meet with
diplomats and get irst-hand
accounts and their
perspectives on world
issues. This year, the UN
Chef de Cabinet, Mr.
Courtenay Rattray, served as
a keynote speaker at
graduation in the General
Assembly Hall. Its unique
connection to the UN has
fostered a culture of global
awareness, community
engagement, and social
responsibility that is at the
heart of the school's
mission.
An important tradition at
UNIS is its annual student-
led UNIS UN Conference,
also held in the UN General
Assembly Hall. UNIS hosts
students from schools on
multiple continents and
debates topics related to
the UN Sustainable
Development Goals.
While independent schools
in New York have been
experiencing challenges
with enrolment, UNIS has
thrived during and beyond
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prioritizing Personal
Growth
UNIS takes pride in its wide
range of student-led clubs,
which offer diverse
opportunities for students
to explore their interests,
develop new skills, and
connect with others who
share their passions. With
over 40 clubs to choose from,
students can participate in
everything from debate and
Model United Nations to
music, drama, and cultural
clubs that celebrate the
diverse backgrounds and
experiences of the UNIS
community.

12. Some popular clubs
include the Robotics Club,
the Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion Board, the
UNISVerse student
publication, and the Jazz
Band. Overall, the clubs at
UNIS provide students with
valuable opportunities for
personal growth and
leadership development.
UNIS also offers a variety
of athletics programs for
students to participate in
throughout the year. The
school has competitive
teams for basketball, soccer,
volleyball, track and ield,
cross country, and baseball.
The athletics program is
designed to promote
physical itness, teamwork,
and sportsmanship, while
also emphasizing the
importance of fair play and
respect for opponents.
Additionally, UNIS offers
opportunities for students
to develop leadership skills
and build a sense of
community and school
spirit.
Counselling to Pave Right
Paths
Counselling at UNIS is
exciting. At least ten nations
outside of the United States
get applications from
students each year who
then enrol there.
Students at UNIS receive
an education that prepares
them to be lifelong learners,
engaged citizens, and
capable of pursuing further
education anywhere in the
globe. After graduating from
UNIS, students go on to
study at colleges and
universities all around the
country as well as in many
other countries.
Because its students bring
a special maturity,
intellectual energy, and
wide-ranging outlook to
their student body,
admissions of icers admire
applications from UNIS.
With the help of the IB
curriculum, students get a
dynamic combination of
information, skills,
independent study, critical
and creative thinking, and
global awareness.
Graduates of UNIS are

using the language in a real-
life context, students gain
valuable experience in
listening, speaking, reading,
and writing, as well as
cultural understanding.
They are able to
communicate more
effectively with native
speakers and gain insights
into the local culture and
way of life. This experience
also helps students develop
con idence and
independence as they
navigate unfamiliar
surroundings and
communicate with people
from different
backgrounds.
The purpose of the UNIS
Extra Curricular After-
School Activities
Programme is to provide
students with the chance to

leader in international
education, with
accreditation from
organizations such as the
International Baccalaureate
Organization (IBO) and the
Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools (MSA).

sustainability that UNIS
upholds.
Fostering the Culture of
Parental Involvement
The UNIS Parents'
Association (UNIS PA) plays a
crucial role in building an
active, supportive, and
family-engaged global
community.
When a family enrols at
UNIS, they automatically
become a member of the
Parents' Association and are
required to pay annual dues.
All UNIS PA members are
urged to attend the monthly
meetings and/or lend their
important time and
knowledge to one of the
various committees or
initiatives.
Every year the association:
• Organizes and supports
events that heighten
community spirit and
make the school a warm
and inviting place for
everyone.
• Represents the families'
points of view to the
school administration and
channels constructive
dialogue between the two.
• Supports school
fundraising and outreach
efforts and raises and
distributes UNIS PA funds
in a purposeful manner to
support school-wide
programs and enhance the
education of its children.
In envisioning the future of
UNIS growing with the ideals
of the United Nations'
teachings, the school sees a
world where education is
more inclusive, equitable,
and sustainable. UNIS will
continue to prioritize
promoting values such as
human rights, respect for
diversity, and environmental
stewardship. T H E

Benefits of
International
Schooling
and Education
in
theUSA
n an increasingly
Iinterconnected world, the
value of international
education has never been
more pronounced. As the
global landscape continues to
evolve, students and parents
recognize the myriad benefits
of an education in the United
States.
This article explores the
advantages and growth
associated with international
schooling in the USA,

20. shedding light on why many
families opt for this enriching
educational experience.
Cultural Diversity Fostering
Global Perspectives
One of the foremost
advantages of international
schooling in the USA is the
exposure to a rich tapestry of
cultures. The melting-pot
nature of American society
provides students with a
unique opportunity to interact
with peers from diverse
backgrounds. This cultural
immersion enhances their
understanding of the world
and instills a global
perspective that is
increasingly valuable in
today's interconnected
economy.
Students in international
schools often find themselves
in a microcosm of the global
community, where they learn
to appreciate and embrace
differences. This exposure
fosters tolerance, open-
mindedness, and a heightened
cultural intelligence that
equips them to navigate an
ever-changing world.
Holistic Education and
Personal Development
International schools in the
USA are renowned for their
emphasis on holistic
education. Beyond traditional
academic subjects, these
institutions prioritize the
development of critical life
skills, including
communication, problem-
solving, and adaptability.
Students are encouraged to
participate in a wide range of
extracurricular activities,
promoting a well-rounded
development beyond the
confines of a classroom.
The focus on personal
growth extends to fostering
independence and resilience.
Living away from home,
often in a boarding school
environment, students learn to
navigate challenges, make
decisions, and develop a
sense of self-reliance. These
life skills are invaluable
assets that contribute to their
success both in academia and
in their future professional
endeavors.
Access to Renowned
Educational Institutions
The USA is home to some of
the world's most prestigious
educational institutions.
International schools in the
country often have affiliations
with these renowned
universities and colleges,
providing students with a
seamless pathway to higher
education. The exposure to
cutting-edge research, world-
class faculty, and state-of-the-
art facilities positions
students for academic
excellence and prepares them
for the competitive global job
market.
Language Proficiency and
Communication Skills
English is the predominant
language of instruction in
American schools, providing
international students a
unique opportunity to
enhance their language
proficiency. Immersed in an
English-speaking
environment, students
naturally develop strong
communication skills, both
written and spoken. This
linguistic advantage
facilitates academic success
and prepares them for global
careers where English is often
the primary language of
business.
Furthermore, the
multicultural setting of
international schools
encourages students to
communicate effectively with
peers from diverse linguistic
backgrounds. This cross-
cultural communication skill
is valuable in an era where
collaboration knows no
geographical boundaries.
Networking Opportunities
and Global Connections
International schooling in the
USA provides students with a
network that spans the globe.
Classmates, teachers, and
alums become part of an
extensive professional and
social network that can prove
instrumental in their future
endeavors. The connections
formed during their
educational journey offer
collaboration, mentorship,
and career advancement
opportunities.
These global connections
are especially beneficial in an
era where international
collaboration is crucial for
solving complex global
challenges. Students who
have experienced
international education in the
USA are better equipped to
engage in cross-cultural
collaborations and contribute
meaningfully to a globalized
world.
Exposure to Advanced
Technologies and Research
Opportunities
International schools in the
USA often benefit from
access to cutting-edge
technologies and research
facilities. The American
education system strongly
emphasizes innovation and
scientific exploration,
allowing students to engage
with the latest advancements
in various fields. This
exposure enhances their
academic experience and
prepares them to navigate a
technologically-driven future.
Students in international
schools may have
opportunities to collaborate
on research projects and
internships and gain hands-on
experience in laboratories
equipped with state-of-the-art
equipment. This exposure to
advanced technologies
nurtures a spirit of curiosity
and inquiry, instilling a
passion for discovery that can
shape their career trajectories
in fields ranging from science
and engineering to business
and the arts.
Development of Cross-
Cultural Leadership Skills
International schooling in the
USA equips students with
invaluable cross-cultural
leadership skills. The diverse
and inclusive environment
challenges students to
collaborate with individuals
from various cultural
backgrounds, fostering the
development of effective
leadership and teamwork.
This experience prepares
them to lead in multinational
organizations and navigate
the complexities of an
interconnected global
economy.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the benefits of
international schooling in the
USA extend far beyond
academic achievement. The
holistic education, cultural
exposure, and global
perspectives gained during
this experience contribute to
students' personal and
professional growth. As
families increasingly
recognize the advantages of
an international education, the
demand for such programs
continues to grow, cementing
the USA as a premier
destination for students
seeking a comprehensive and
globally relevant educational
experience. Embracing
international schooling is not
just a choice for education but
an investment in a future
without borders.
