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, The United Kingdom, United States, and Jordan.
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/.

A student Connecticut College
"I certainly learned a lot in my courses, though the most valuable takeaway was probably fluency in Italian, not so much the course material. That being said, I think the most valuable gain from the experience were the things I learned about myself, outside of the classroom. Perhaps its a cliche to say you "found yourself" while ..."

"I was able to learn actual French, and what I mean by that is that I was able to learn everyday French. In class, I only learned academic French—which makes sense, it is a university setting—but then on top of that, it was most reading and writing. So, alongside gaining new vocabulary, I greatly improved my oral comprehension an..."

William T Middlebury College
"I was able to reconnect in some ways with my Japanese identity and am generally more comfortable with living in Japan now. Being in a city also helped me to explore other parts of my identity and open up more. I also really needed a mental health break from my home institution so being able to go abroad was a lifesaver."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned to be more independent. "
A student Middlebury College
"This experience was extremely worthwhile. While I learned a lot academically, I also grew personally and had the chance to essentially live on my own in a new country.
