Portuguese Immersion Program
More than 1400 students find success with us each summer. Who enrolls in the Language Schools?
Our dedicated faculty are some of the world’s leading academic professionals, and our students graduate with some of the highest levels of proficiency. Here’s why:
We Take the Language Pledge®
Only Middlebury offers the Language Pledge®, in which you pledge to communicate only in language while here. In a community of motivated learners and supportive faculty, this creates a 24/7 immersion environment.
We Live in Language
You’ll exponentially grow your language skills in whichever program you choose. And you’ll put your language skills to work outside of the classroom as well, participating in all kinds of cocurricular activities.
We Share a Commitment
Each summer, we welcome students from all walks of life and all parts of the world, ages 18 to 80+. One thing they all have in common is the potential and the desire to succeed.
Since 1915, Middlebury Language Schools has been one of the nation’s preeminent language learning institutions featuring programs in 12 languages in Vermont and English in California. Together we create one of the most effective language-learning environments each summer.
