More than 1400 students find success with us each summer. Who enrolls in the Language Schools?
“The language and cultural competencies I acquired provided me with invaluable skills to navigate libraries, archives, and daily interactions almost exclusively in Portuguese.”
“My vocabulary expanded significantly, and I read difficult German literature for the first time. I now communicate with my parents only in German, and regularly speak with my grandmother in German about more complex topics.”
“I study at Middlebury because I want to improve my language skills drastically without any English distractions.”
“I came in knowing my language skills would improve, but I hadn’t anticipated forming such a close bond with my peers, my class, and even the rest of the school.”
“Spending a summer at Middlebury is like being in a language laboratory. What better place to learn how to teach Hebrew than to witness it being taught and learned by a community of enthusiastic students!”
“As an international student, I hadn’t realized that Middlebury is especially well-known in the U.S. for its high standard of Chinese teaching.”
“I had taken Hebrew courses for three years at university and yet still could not actually speak the language. After just one summer at the Language Schools, I could speak fluidly and comfortably.”
“I have a passion for learning Chinese and wanted to advance my proficiency before heading to Beijing for my spring semester.”
“I do not know of any program other than Middlebury that combines a total immersion experience with quality education in a fun, encouraging atmosphere.”
“I’m a Korean major at my university and I plan to become a translator after graduation, so Middlebury has played a large role in the further development of my language skills.”
“I entered the DML program to learn research skills, and I am planning to spend next summer at the French School to improve my second language skills.”
“I was surprised by how many clubs, guest speakers, and activities after class were available to all of us.”
“The Middlebury Language School was the best place I could have gone to study French. The excitement of living in another language, combined with the wonderful professors and comprehensive coursework made for an amazing seven weeks.”
Middlebury Language Schools’ most impressive feature is the value the administration places on every individual.

Middlebury Campus, Classes, and Cocurricular Activities Before and After: 8-weeks at the Chinese School TranscriptNǐ hǎo, wǒ jiào Jason. I am South African. I am just about to start the program here at Middlebury. The 8-week Chinese summer program. I’m really excited. I can’t speak any Chinese further than what I told you and I’m hoping to use Mandarin within engineering for a long term goal.
8 Weeks Later
Hello. My name is Jason. I am South African. I am currently studying Chinese at Middlebury’s Chinese summer school. I think Middlebury’s teachers are excellent and very professional. Also, I think Middlebury is beautiful. But I really think the Middlebury advantage is that teachers spend a lot of time helping students practice speaking Chinese.
