About
The Middlebury School in Argentina offers students the opportunity to study in one of Latin America's most dynamic and culturally rich capitals while developing advanced Spanish language proficiency through full immersion. Students enroll directly in courses alongside Argentine peers at one of Middlebury's distinguished partner institutions, Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, the Universidad de Buenos Aires, or the Universidad Torcuato di Tella, choosing from a wide range of academic disciplines taught entirely in Spanish.
