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/.

Emily A Middlebury College
"I think this was hard semester for both Middlebury and me. They were struggling to start up a new program on the fly, and this was my one semester to be Rebekah at large in the Middle East. Sometimes these goals conflicted. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of self-dependency, confidence, and real-life experience. If I hadn't taken t..."

"After studying abroad, I am eager to continue my studying and go abroad again. This is truly the best way to grasp a new language and culture.

"Yes, it was. It solidified a lot of my opinions, changed others, and in general answered a lot of big questions that were looming in the back of my mind. Although we ran into a lot of hiccups, the program was new last semester and we were the guinea pigs. Also it was my third choice of a program, I wanted to go to Aleppo in S..."
Matt P Tufts University
"My study abroad experience in Tokyo was something that I had been working towards since I was a freshmen in college. Besides the language experience I gained while I was abroad I learned how to be comfortable with myself and became more confident in a leadership role and as a representative of both my college and country. It def..."
Kyla H Providence College
"Yes. As I said, it was a great immersion experience, and I really was living on my own and starting from scratch in many ways (although the program had good resources to fall back on). I got the chance to study things I normally wouldn't in a more culturally relevant context. "
Emily B Tufts University
"My experience abroad not only exposed me to the political, economic, and social environment of Spain but made me more aware about what is going on in my own country. My experience was definitely culturally relative; we were always comparing America with Spain/Europe, but that did not stop us from becoming accepted as honorary ma..."
