Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy, a new initiative building on the expertise of both Middlebury College and the Monterey Institute of International Studies, offers one-month language immersions for middle and high school students in a summer-camp setting.

Next summer MMLA will offer four languages -- Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, and Spanish. Each summer camp adapts the renowned Middlebury Language Schools immersion with a curriculum and activities developed specifically for students entering grades 7-12, to create all the fun of summer camp in the target language.

The summer camps will run June 28- July 25, 2009. Applications are being accepted now.
