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
"It was very worthwhile and I learned a lot about myself."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that sometimes you just had to live in the moment. While abroad there are only so many things you can worry about; rather than worry just live in the moment of being abroad. It was worthwhile when I finally let go of things I couldn't control. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned language skills and coexistence skills. I also strengthened my sense of independence and ability to go out and interact with strangers. "
A student Middlebury College
"I would say this experience was worthwhile "

"Independence and confidence in myself, I'd say it was worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College

A student Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile, but I do wish everything was on the same level as the quality of the program itself. The number one thing I learned is that I will never live in a dorm ever again"
