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 Chile, Germany, France, and United States.
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/.
Study Abroad with Middlebury Schools Abroad
"It was the first time I truly did a lot of things by myself and I enjoyed the independence. I also loved being in Italy and experiencing another culture. I do not feel I learned as much academically as I do in a typical semester, but I learned in other aspects."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"After spending a lot of time in France throughout my childhood, it was important to me to gain insight into what *living* life in Paris would entail (if it was more than a fantasy), and if I could successfully/realistically create my own life there. I definitely feel like I made it a second home -- it was very worthwhile. "

A student Middlebury College
"I gained a lot of real-life experiences and learned a lot about spanish culture and the real world. A lot of this is owed to my internship, and a lot to just being on my own in a big city where I got to decide what kind of person I wanted to be, what kind of things I wanted to do with my time, etc. Solidified my spanish and visi..."
A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile, my language skills improved over the semester and the semester was difficult in ways that other semesters were not. I feel more prepared for life after college after studying abroad."
A student Middlebury College
"I think the biggest thing I can take away is the improvement to my German skills. Additionally, I think it was worthwhile for the experience outside the somewhat stressful academic setting. Having to adapt to German culture and just the expectations around how work, bureacracy, life, etc. gets done was also extremely valuable. "
