The Model United Nations (MUN) is a debate space where participating students (delegates) simulate being the diplomatic body or ambassadors of a specific country at an international organization (committees) to discuss current or historically significant issues.
With the participation of up to 25 students, they meet over consecutive days (usually three) to debate from the stance of each state on the proposed topic, creating consensus and proposing a series of realistic and plausible solutions to help ensure world peace by the end of the day.
Each committee is chaired by two students with greater experience and background (the chair), who manage speaking time, verify quorum, ensure proper dress code, and assist in training other students.
The Model United Nations at Colegio La Colina began in the 2010-2011 academic year at its first location in Casablanca. A year later, MUN became part of the Social Sciences curriculum. It was not until 2013 that the model would open its doors to different educational institutions. In 2014, students enjoyed their first international experience in New York City. National models were also explored in various cities such as Barranquilla and Valledupar, and support was provided for the creation of SIMONU, the Model United Nations of the Capital District.
CLCMUN is composed of enthusiastic students who have participated or wish to participate in its activities. Activities are directed by a sponsor, a teacher from the humanities department, and are supported by a board of directors composed of six 11th-grade students.
Each year, this board nominates candidates as future successors, who, along with the head of humanities, the sponsor, and social studies teachers in high school, are approved and selected to organize the model for the following academic year.
aprobados y escogidos para que organicen el modelo del siguiente año académico.
Desde el 2021 se ha celebrado el Modelo de Naciones Unidas Junior, dirigido a los estudiantes de grados 5o a 8o para así acercarlos a las problemáticas globales.

In 2023, we celebrated the twelfth edition of the Model at the Universidad Externado de Colombia for the second consecutive year. We are proud to have such a prestigious academic ally.
On May 6, 7, and 8, nearly 400 students participated, including logistics teams and debate attendees, with six participating schools. As a result, the university decided to award five scholarships in the Faculty of Finance, Government, and International Relations to the most outstanding delegates in the Model United Nations.
Here you can find the latest edition of the newspaper with reviews, photos, and opinions. As a yearly tradition, you will also find access to the press videos.
The School Library is a key educational space for Colegio La Colina. It offers a centralized and organized collection of informational materials needed for our educational mission, as well as a setting for research, education, discovery, self-training, and reading. The library's inventory includes books, audiovisual tools, and educational games, and its activities are fully integrated into the school’s Educational Project.
In addition to its collection of books, the library provides access to information sources and supplementary materials to support our students’ learning.
For the 2023-2024 academic year, CLCMUN will begin training in Models starting from 3rd grade, fostering the Amazing Learning characteristic of our institution. It will also resume participation in international models and open its doors to institutions that are part of ISP in its thirteenth edition. Amazing Learning característico de nuestra institución. Así mismo, se retomará la participación en modelos internacionales, así como abrirá sus puertas a las instituciones que hacen parte de ISP en su décimo tercera edición.
