French Immersion Program

Eight French Middlebury language schools students standing together in a classroom.

The Betty Ashbury Jones MA ’86 School of French reflects the diversity and richness of both France and the greater Francophone world.

Our 7-week immersion program is designed for pure beginners to intermediate and advanced.

Curriculum

Daily activities normally include four hours of classroom instruction plus three to five hours of homework, followed by a range of cocurricular activities. Each level has an integrated program and students must take all parts for a total of three undergraduate units, which is equal to nine credit hours at other universities and colleges.

Levels

Placement in a specific level is determined by language proficiency. All students take a language assessment prior to the start of the program. The language assessment is not part of the application process. Read more about level placement.
