The Middlebury C.V. Starr Schools Abroad, operated by Middlebury College in 17 countries across 5 continents, offer overseas academic programs for undergraduates from various U.S. institutions, as well as graduate-level programs for students from the Middlebury College Language Schools and the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. The first School was the School in Paris, opened in 1949. The Middlebury C.V. Starr Schools have been endowed by the C.V. Starr Foundation.

Academic program

Programs vary in nature and in size. All instruction is in the host country language and conforms to that country's educational approach. Students may study for one or two semesters and can combine an internship with academic study. At many of the Schools, students can opt to directly enroll at a local university.Why Middlebury?

The Middlebury C.V. Starr Schools have an immersion-based approach to language and cultural acquisition. All students must sign Middlebury's "Language Pledge," agreeing to exclusively use their target language for the duration of the program.Language Pledge
