Day Language Academies

Summer Day Academies bring Middlebury College’s gold standard world language curriculum to an immersive 2-week program hosted in a safe and convenient private school setting. More enriching than a day camp and more fun than a traditional academic program, students learn Spanish, French or Chinese and gain the global skills to succeed in high school, college and beyond. The Day Academies, available to all public and private school students, are located on the beautiful campuses of four highly-respected private schools across the country: in Greater Boston (Belmont Hill School), Western Connecticut (Greenwich Academy), Washington, DC (National Cathedral School) and Southern California (Pacific Ridge School).  Visit site

Passport to the World

The Day Academies are modeled after Middlebury-Monterey’s highly successful Residential Academies. Students stay “in language” with classroom-based instruction, cultural projects, and hands-on activities that foster learning and friendship. The 2-week sessions are specifically designed for middle school students in 5th-8th grade and employ the Middlebury Method of immersion learning. Students at all language levels are welcome. Each day, Academy attendees are transported to a new world of language, culture and learning – all just a short drive from home.  Visit site

When you talk to people and make those connections, it can last for the rest of your life.
