Middlebury Schools Abroad is a program provider offering 32 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad and Intensive Language abroad programs in 18 countries such as Spain, Chile, The United Kingdom, and Germany.
Participants in the Middlebury C.V. Starr Schools Abroad don’t just study a language—they live it.
Many of our students major in disciplines other than foreign languages, yet all bring a level of proficiency that supports their commitment to language and cultural immersion. They sign and honor the Middlebury Language Pledge because they want the greatest possible challenge in a study abroad program and an authentic experience in every respect; academic, social, and even professional.
Participants take courses in most subjects, often with host country students, intern or engage in volunteer work, and live with a family or local students. Indeed, at every juncture of their time abroad, students have the chance to "live the language" and immerse themselves in the host culture.
Middlebury also offers intensive summer immersion programs in ten languages, as well as graduate programs in eight of these languages. For graduate studies, visit http://www.middlebury.edu/ls/grad_programs/ and for Language Schools, visit http://www.middlebury.edu/ls/.

Haoze L Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about Oxford’s culture and prestige in its beautiful architecture and academic system, plus the resources they have for students.

A student Elmhurst University
"I learned a lot of important life skills while abroad and had plenty of opportunities to push myself out of my comfort zone.

I also l..."

A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile in gaining new experiences. However, it was a very challenging experience. "
A student Middlebury College

A student Claremont McKenna College

A student Middlebury College
