"My roommate is quite possibly one of the best friends I have in the entire world. In addition, this relationship has certainly helped to improve my understanding of Chinese culture & language." - a former C.V. Starr-Middlebury School in China student

"My one-on-one helped my Chinese the most. It taught me words to describe my interests. I learned how to write well-thought out essays, and especially how to present thoughts verbally." - a former C.V. Starr-Middlebury School in China student

 

Middlebury College and CET Academic Programs invite you to attend the C.V. Starr-Middlebury School in China, a unique Chinese immersion program designed specifically to provide advanced-intermediate and advanced students the kind of challenge and flexibility they need.

School in China students follow an individualized curriculum, including a one-on-one tutorial, in part designed by the student. To help integrate them fully into campus life, students live with a Chinese roommate, an arrangement that challenges more than just students' language skills. In addition to arranging excursions and activities, resident staff encourage students to pursue individual co-curricular interests outside the classroom. Finally, the program requires that students speak Chinese at all times. While the Middlebury Language Pledge may be a challenge to maintain, students find that they excel in this environment and are rewarded at the end of the program with substantially increased proficiency in Chinese.
