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/.

A student Middlebury College
"I got much better with my language skills and felt like I was able to see a new side of French culture that I had not seen or learned about before. I would like to go back again sometime and would recommend it to others as well."
A student Bowdoin College

Michael Lally Middlebury College

A student Middlebury College
"It was very challenging in many ways, but I have really learned out to advocate for myself, even in a second language (In host family settings and in hospital settings). I came out pretty fluent in Spanish and comfortable and confident to communicate with any Spanish speaker, so it was absolutely worthwhile despite the struggles..."
A student Wesleyan University
"Yes, it will be worthwhile when I am older, but it was very difficult. "
A student Middlebury College
"Language skills, great friends, good experiences, and a lot of time alone."
A student Middlebury College
"The most valuable thing I learned from this semester is that education is not only for young people. This might sound naive but I had never met anyone who took classes while working before this semester and it was great to be in the same classes as those who've already had work experiences. They had a lot to offer in the class l..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more than I have at Middlebury. The tutorial system is something to experience. It's far better than lectures or seminars and even though I entails long hours in the library. The location is top notch. Oxford is an iconic place with a surprising amount of geographic variety and is a short train ride into central London..."
A student Middlebury College
"Studying at CMRS was the most challenging academic experience I've experienced, but the MOST rewarding thing I've ever done as well. Every ounce of effort you put in, you get back and your eyes are opened to the greatest institution in the world and you leave feeling as if you've learned more in one semester than you've learned ..."
A student Middlebury College

Alice Roberts Middlebury College
"I learned how to be more honest with myself and others when I needed help, didn't understand something, or was completely in over my head. I also learned how to fend for myself in a few situations that I wouldn't have trusted myself to deal with successfully without aid back at home in Vermont."
