Throughout the week at the academy, students will have the chance to research and write a paper about any topic which they enjoy. Throughout this process staff will be helping the students learn how to research, how to be effective, and become a much better writer. Hopefully by the end of the week the goal will be to getting every students paper published.

The Diplomacy Academy is run at Boston University. For the week that the diplomacy academy runs, students will get to experience to life and typical stay of a college student by staying in dorms, eating at halls, walking around campus, and getting quality education in state of the art classrooms.

Each night, the Diplomacy Academy winds down with dinner, group discussion, and a new cuisine! Our discussion topic will be tailored to region or country where the food comes from. Enjoy Mexican, Filipino, South Chinese, Japanese, and North and South Indian food!

Throughout the week, you’ll be challenged to meet certain milestones. Master a 60 second speech. Speak for three minutes without saying ‘um’ or ‘uh.’ Write a perfect clause for a draft resolution. Pass a procedure quiz. Students who successfully complete enough challenges get grants and discounts for All-American travel teams!

The Diplomacy Academy is designed to teach you how to succeed to all types of Model UN committees. From General Assembly to Specialized to Crisis, you’ll be able to win awards in whatever committee you find yourself in.

Once you finish the Diplomacy Academy, you’ll have the tools and resources to go back to your school team and train them. Schools that have multiple students complete the Academy tend to start winning delegation awards. Shout outs to Wootton (Outstanding Small at NAIMUN, Outstanding Large at WAMUNC) and St. Vincent-St. Mary (Best Small at WAMUNC).

Everyone who helps out to run the Diplomacy Academy are all hand-picked by the founder. Each staffer will have years of Model UN experience under their belt with awards to back up their skills. Each staffer excels in a unique part of a Model UN committee to help train each student individually.

Being grouped with so many other students who all have similar interests and abilities just calls for friendships to be made for a long time. Speaking for myself, I still continue to talk to the friends I have made my very first time and continue to see them throughout various high school and college conferences. All American creates a very collaborative and team oriented environment to ensure for proper cooperation.

Duh! Isn’t that the goal? Most students that graduate the Diplomacy Academy will place higher at their next conference. Our goal is to guarantee that you leave the academy a much better delegate, speaker, and debater than when you joined. All-American provides the skills and the guides for success and dedication from all of its students.
