Middlebury C.V. Starr School in Germany

on the Exploration Space of the Middlebury School in Germany. If you’re looking for fun ways to engage with German, you came to the right place – start with browsing our books, movies, music and more selections, play language games, solve riddles of intercultural complexity and check out our Lifehacks for Study Abroad and Beyond before you even get to Germany.

And while we had to close our sites due to the Corona-Crisis for Spring 2020, our program stayed alive and kicking – and we owed that circumstance to the special appearances of faculty without whom we wouldn’t have been able to remain in existence this semester.
