Between East Middlebury and the Middlebury Snow Bowl stand the clustered, mustard-yellow buildings of the Middlebury Bread Loaf School of English. Middlebury students are lifelong learners, and Bread Loaf gives students an opportunity to pursue their passion for language long after they leave with their bachelor’s degree.
The school opened in 1920, and for more than 100 years has given writers, teachers, and interdisciplinary storytellers the opportunity to further their craft. To be at Bread Loaf is to engage with texts of English, American, and global authors, workshop your own written pieces, and delve into other interdisciplinary studies, including theater, with like-minded, similarly focused learners.
It’s an immersive experience of living on, or near, the mountain campus. Come for four to five beautiful Vermont summers in pursuit of a Master of Letters or Master of Arts. Come for a single summer for continuing education, or follow in the footsteps of Robert Frost and come for one of the weeklong writers’ conferences with emerging and established writers alike.
