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/.
Study Abroad with Middlebury Schools Abroad
"I learned not only Chinese language but Taiwanese language, culture, history, and current events. I also gained many many friendships that I keep up with almost everyday."
A student Wofford College
"It was worthwhile, but it was really hard. I got to meet many people who taught me so much about Chile. I also learned a lot about what I am like when all my supports are stripped away."
A student Middlebury College
"I definitely learned how to be patient. A lot of things took a long time and dealing with the administration was not fun, and it was easier to just go with the flow than try to force anything. I also learned more about the island and its culture, both the good and the bad. I learned a lot about myself too. This experience was ki..."

Yara M University of Puerto Rico - Río Piedras
"I learned a lot about how to express myself in a foreign language, and in turn, find an identity for myself in another language. I also gained a lot of exposure related to the French education system, which allowed me to diversity my experience. I found the experience very worthwhile and would recommend it to others."
A student Middlebury College
"My experience was amazing, despite the program. I became very independent and had a more than worthwhile experience. My French developed rapidly and it unlocked the possibility of moving back abroad for me. I loved my classes at the university, I had a very unique experience there which was so so cool. "
Anonymous A Mount Holyoke College
"The world is worse off than I thought. It was eye-opening."
A student Brandeis University
"I think that the most influential part of my experience abroad was the French immersion. I met a lot of great people who were also participating in the program, but struggled with making friends in my classes at Université Paris-Cité. Overall it was definitely worthwhile for me."
A student Mount Holyoke College
"I learned a lot about myself, about the world, made new connections and friends, improved my spanish a lot, etc"

"Friendships and understandings of different cultures "
A student Tufts University

Yuvraj S Middlebury College
