Each summer since 1920 the Bread Loaf School of English has offered a rich array of graduate courses in literature, the teaching of writing, creative writing, and theater arts to students from across the United States. For six weeks each summer Bread Loaf students, most of them secondary-school teachers, work toward an M.A. or M.Litt. and study with a world-class faculty at one of our four sites: Santa Fe, New Mexico; Asheville, North Carolina; Oxford (England); and the home campus located outside Middlebury at the foot of Bread Loaf Mountain in Vermont.
This June some 500 students will again travel to the Bread Loaf of their choice for an intense, exhilarating, even transformative six weeks of class work, lectures, performances, and conversation. They can then join the virtual community of teachers and learners after classes have ended, as they stay in touch year-round using BreadNet, our computer network.
