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/.
Study Abroad with Middlebury Schools Abroad
"I learned that I am in control of all parts of my life and the sooner I recognize that, the sooner I can live the life I have always wanted. It was definitely worthwhile. "

"I have had the opportunity to improve my reading and writing skills. The variety of courses I took is also very new and refreshing - those are the courses I have never had the chance to take at Middlebury. It was a very worthwhile experience. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned so much about how to conduct research in the humanities at an advanced level. Pushing myself to my academic limit also highlighted learning habits that work well for me, and where I have room for improvement. I feel significantly better equipped to navigate my way through my senior year, and I have a new skillset to ma..."

A student Middlebury College
"Can't say I learned anything new, but it definitely reaffirmed components of my life such as my drive to explore and walk around new places, my level of comfort in navigating and getting to know cities, and the recognition that I don't like to live in cities long-term."
A student Middlebury College

"I learned more Spanish - even though I still think of myself as an intermediate I learned a lot of the language while I was there. "
A student Middlebury College
"I think I definitely grew as a person and learned to become more independent and confident during my semester abroad. I also obviously improved greatly in my Spanish language skills from the expectation that we used the language at all times while abroad. In my experience specifically with the civil unrest and protests that occu..."

A student Middlebury College
"I believe that I not only became a much better reader and writer while at CMRS, but was also given the opportunity to mature intellectually in a way distinct from the rest of my experiences in college. The encouragement given by both staff and fellow students to engage with topics which I found interesting helped me to 'come out..."
