Welcome
Welcome to the Middlebury School in Spain Handbook! Please use the menu to navigate to different sections of the Handbook.
This Handbook has been compiled to help prepare you for the Middlebury School in Spain, both at the undergraduate and the graduate level. Please read everything carefully and be sure to follow the instructions. Failure to do so will waste valuable time and may jeopardize your participation in the program. A successful experience abroad depends in part upon how well you can assume the responsibility of preparing yourself for it.
If you read all of this material carefully you will find the answers to many basic, commonly asked questions; however, our office always welcomes your e-mails, phone calls, and inquiries and hopes that you will continue to seek guidance and support as you prepare for your abroad experience. Likewise, our staff is always available to talk to your parents and family and answer any questions they may have regarding your time abroad.
