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 a lot about Chilean marine and terrestrial life through my marine biology courses and internship, and of course learned a new dialect of Spanish. However I would not say my semester was particularly worthwhile. "
A student Middlebury College
"My time abroad was incredibly worthwhile. I gained and learned so much from my experience in Chile, I could probably talk about it for hours. A few key points are: First of all I gained a large network of "family" and friends that I know I'll keep in contact with. I was able to improve my Spanish greatly, at the end of my last..."
Diana McLeod Middlebury College
"I both improved my Spanish a lot and getting away from college in the US for a semester really gave me time to get to know myself."
A student Middlebury College
"I found that in addition to my French developing, I learned what it's like to live in the middle of a city and navigate it, how to cope with cultural differences—including with the people I live with—and, above all, how to deal with having a lot of free time and alone time. I think it was very worthwhile, and I exit a more matur..."
A student Tufts University
"Above anything else, I gained an understanding of another culture, and the ways in which it, as a European culture, is similar to and different from the American culture in which I grew up. Studying abroad was absolutely a worthwhile experience."

Liz Perrotta Middlebury College
"Improved my Spanish a ton, learned about Spanish culture and got a more worldly perspective"
A student Middlebury College
"My writing, editing, and research skills improved immensely. I can now skim through several books, identify important arguments and thoughts, and compose a 7-8 page paper in one week. I made new friends, played frisbee, talked to people with different views than my own, and made connections for life. "
A student Middlebury College
"This was definitely worthwhile. I pushed myself to my academic limits while adapting to a new country and having a good time. It was thrilling."
Mark A Simonitis Amherst College
"I definitively improved as a writer, and gained confidence in writing more professionally. It was also fascinating working under the Oxford system. I definitely found it a worthwhile experience... I just wish my Independent Research Professor had been more professional. "
A student Middlebury College
"More Chinese "
A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile, I learned about cultural adaptation and grit. As a government major, observing the political life and influence of the state was very interesting to me as well."
A student Bowdoin College
"I went into the program focused on the academic aspects, namely improving my french language skills and familiarizing with the French university system. I achieved all of my goals in terms of academic improvement and I feel I was able to integrate French culture very well. I feel like the culture I learned about experienced and ..."
A student Swarthmore College
"I made a lot of American friends from other colleges that I still hang out with. I also learned how to write an 8 page essay in 3 hours which I think will help me going into senior year. I learned to work and study material at a new level and became a much stronger writer. I also had the opportunity to travel around other countr..."
Jill Staufer Middlebury College
"My experience abroad was worthwhile because I had other friends in my program and in Europe and because I learned a great deal about myself and what I want for my future, but not because of the university i was studying at or the academic courses I was taking. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was a challenging experience in pretty much all aspects, but most definitely worthwhile! Not only did I learn more of the language, I also learned more about life in France and living in a different country in general. I think that the experiences I had have given me a new perspective on the world as well as a renewed sense o..."
A student Middlebury College
