The world offers you a million different options for communication; the best, however, is still the simplest—face to face.
Spend a summer at the Middlebury German School, and you will experience the single most effective method for foreign language acquisition: a total immersion environment. In the classroom, at the dinner table, in the dormitories, and everywhere in between, you and your peers will learn, laugh, debate, and even dream in German.

Founded in 1915 as the first of the Middlebury Language Schools, the German School is home to a proud tradition of learning. When you join the School, you will benefit from our decades of experience in helping students gain proficiency in the German language. The Language Pledge—a promise to read, write, listen, and speak in only the language of study—is the engine that drives this motivated community of teachers and learners, all of them eager to help you succeed.
Middlebury’s emphasis on meaningful communication in real-life situations—from navigating the streets of Berlin to discussing German philosophy or entertaining guests—will support you long after you leave the campus, no matter where your German takes you: to the research archives, to the classroom, to the opera, or to the heart of Europe. A few of the many cocurricular in-language activities on offer are Soccer, Theater, Choir, Ultimate Frisbee, Yoga, Chess, and Philosophy.
