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 am much more comfortable with my Spanish, I learned a lot about Chilean culture and university life, and the experience was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"I got to be independent in a large city for the first time, gaining confidence as I learned how to maneuver and communicate and explore. Chilean culture exercised my skills of patience and flexibility, making me appreciative of the US university system and many other things. I missed my home and school terribly, but I know I've ..."
Ariana Carter Wellesley College

A student Wellesley College
"I was able to meet many new people in Japan, and go to new places. It inspired me to apply for jobs in Japan. "
Mika M Wellesley College
"Studying in Germany was definitely worthwhile. My biggest gain was obviously the language component. I would recommend having a few set activities, volunteer engagements, internships, travel plans if you do enter the program because you will have so much free time during the semester. I didn't know how to fill it all so there wa..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to live on my own and get out my Wellesley bubble. As well as Japanese culture. Yes it was worthwhile. "
Sophia Vale Wellesley College
"I not only improved my German, but I also improved academic and life skills with the help of this program. I believe both my writing and communication skills have improved, which will help me in Wellesley and beyond. I was also able to explore a new place and meet people who challenged the way I view the world. It was definitely..."

"Language skills- definitely worth it as I could not have done the same at my home institution."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned better study habits, how to approach intense academic writing, time management, adaptability, open-mindedness, and cultural awareness amongst others. I did find the overall experience worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"After a semester in Berlin, taking classes at a German university and speaking with my friends and professors in German for four months, my language skills have dramatically improved. I became more familiar with German and Berlin culture and was able to critically compare it not only to the cultures of the United States but also..."
A student Wellesley College
"My German improved. I gained insight into German and European society and culture. As cheesy as it sounds, I learned a lot about myself and my personal relationships, as well as conception of race and ethnicity (my own conception and that of the people I met). Linguistically, I learned to stop being so afraid to make mistakes. T..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot of Japanese. I learned how to explore a new city. I learned that I need to push myself to be out of my comfort zone. I learned that if I put my mind to it and study, languages aren't actually difficult."
Imara McMillan Wellesley College
"I learned so much about the Spanish culture, improved my Spanish and now I can officially say that I speak three languages. It just feel so great walking down the small narrow street in Madrid and enjoy the city life!"

A student Wellesley College
"best to know people in oxford before hand, helped a lot!"
A student Wellesley College
"It was very worthwhile; my language skills increased noticably, I learned a lot about Japan and Tokyo, and I had some amazing opportunities to travel and meet people. I don't think you can have a *bad* abroad experience, and for all of my mental health/personal struggles coloring my experience, I still think it was an extremely ..."
A student Wellesley College
"Going abroad was definitely worthwhile! My Spanish speaking and writing skills have immensely and the whole experience helped me become more independent because even though the Middlebury staff are always there to help, I still ended up figuring out most things on my own. "
A student Wellesley College
"In a nutshell I am definetly not the same person I was back in January. I am much more independent, have gone through very challenging experiences that I never thought I could handle (ie being hospitalized in a country I don't speak the language while traveling), and I have learned many important things about myself, what I want..."
Ivonne Wellesley College
"The program at M-CMRS is well organized to help students adapt and thrive in a new environment. During my semester at CMRS I found the challenge of the tutorial system to be fulfilling and exciting as I learned new skills in research methods, literary analysis, and in-depth note taking. The fast-paced format of the classes pushe..."

"I learned how to live on my own in an unfamiliar place. It was very worthwhile. "
Kayla W St. Mary's College of Maryland
"SUPER WORTHWHILE. I learned so much about myself, the wonders of travelling and the beauty of exploring new places and cultures. I really pushed myself out of my comfort zone and grew a lot. Although i left early my experience in Chile was wonderful and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity. And the decision to leave was i..."
