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 improved my fluency in French and gained experience living on my own in a foreign country."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned Chinese, and I really enjoyed my relationship with my roommate who was a local student. "
A student Middlebury College
"Independence and Spanish It was worth it but had I tried harder from the beginning, I could have gained much more."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that the future is in my hands and that study abroad allowed me to mature in so many ways."
Mr. Tester Test University
"So and so. It was a different experience than studying at my home institution, very challenging and I guess I feel good about myself, knowing that I managed to complete the work I was assigned every week. The tutorials of the program were very interesting: one-to-one with an Oxford professor and weekly discussions on the assigne..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about what I want to do in life, and I now know that I want to live in China for part of my life. It was 100% worthwhile."
Michael Gao Middlebury College
"Language skills/ independence increased dramatically"
Anna Parker Middlebury College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned that had I prepared more thoroughly, my first month or so would have probably been easier. But I also knew that I had a learning curve and though it took awhile, once the language clicked, it really felt like I had begun to truly internalize Arabic."
A student Wellesley College
"So worthwhile! I gained incredible confidence in speaking Spanish, new friends, and grew as a person."
A student Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
"Japanese language skills/more cultural understanding, learning that I can function in a foreign country on my own. Yes, it was worthwhile"
A student Wellesley College
"Yes! I had a fantastic time learning how to be an adult and live completely on my own. I feel that I have experienced a tremendous amount of self-growth and would not change my experience for anything (even if I wouldn't necessarily do the same program again)."

"It was not worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College

A student Middlebury College
"It wasn't worth it. I mean I am happy that I achieved language proficiency, but I could have done that another way. "
A student Middlebury College
"Learned how to live independently and interact with people whose professional and social cultures are very different from mine."
A student Middlebury College
"It was not a cultural enlightening experience, but the academics made it all worth it!"
Christina Brook Middlebury College
"I learned how to operate in situations in which I was unsure if myself and my skills. It gave me confidence to attack problems head on despite having limited understanding of the language."
A student Wellesley College
"Definitely worthwhile to study abroad. Got to travel, new people, new experiences. I had a good experience. It was fun to live as an adult in a different country and make a home for myself there. Helped to improve my Spanish, learned about a foreign country. I don't think I learned anything specifically new, but is was a chance ..."
