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
"Made lifelong friends and I feel fluent in Spanish "
A student Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso
"I think on top of the rigorous academics, this program was good for learning how to live on your own. Also the kids in the program (while isolated from the locals) were very nice. "
A student Middlebury College
"Improved french, learned about french culture"
A student Lehigh University
"I gained reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension skills, and I learned about my major (International and Global Studies with a regional focus in Latin America) from a different perspective. It was worthwhile. "
A student Middlebury College
"I had a great experience during my time abroad. I found that it was definitely worthwhile and would study through the same program if I was to do it again. I think one of the most important parts of the program is the freedom that it gives to students to explore what the host universities have to offer in terms of course offerin..."

A student Middlebury College
"From living on my own in a foreign country, I gained A LOT of independence. From paying rent to riding the public transportation to going to the emergency room, I gained a lot of valuable adult skills that I would not have otherwise developed at Middlebury. I also developed a lot of important travel skills, like flexibility and ..."

"My Spanish skills greatly improved!"
A student Middlebury College
"Part of my more holistic experience was experiencing the UK and getting a sense of what a country that was a former colonizer, which still keeps somewhat peaceful ties with its colonies, has grown from those times to now. As well as getting to explore avenues of education I might want to venture in within the country."
A student Middlebury College
"Japanese language skills -- it was definitely worthwhile."

"Self-sufficiency"
A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile for personal exploration and spanish language improvement. "
A student Middlebury College
"I stepped out of my comfort zone every time I went to a new activity or decided to spend time exploring the city. I didn't notice at first, but my Spanish listening and speaking skills have improved and I can understand/speak the unique Chilean jargon. I would say that this is one of the outcomes that I am most proud of. "
