MX Global
At Middlesex, the term “global” not only applies to the geographical and cultural spaces beyond Middlesex, but it also encompasses the breadth and complexity of the Middlesex Community. We believe that global awareness and competence is a lifelong process, the roots for which should be planted and cultivated both in and outside of our classrooms, on campus, and around the globe. Middlesex School is committed to preparing all students with the skills, content, and experiences to become global citizens who will grow to become comfortable with the discomfort that often comes with negotiating the world outside of their own immediate experiences. All Middlesex students will graduate having developed five core global competencies. Please reach out to Starry Zhu (szhu@mxschool.edu) with any questions about our MX Global program.
International Trips
Middlesex students have the opportunity to travel abroad during our March break each year to further the learning experiences they are already having in the classroom. During the 2024-2025 school year our students traveled to Paris, Morocco, and Greece with dedicated members of our faculty there to help students fully immerse themselves in the cultural experience of traveling abroad.
Exchanges
Middlesex is proud to offer short-term exchanges, each of which can include about 4-6 students. A short term exchange is generally about two weeks in length, and is a reciprocal partnership between schools that includes hosting students from partner schools at Middlesex and, in turn, sending Middlesex students to partner schools. Generally, Middlesex aims to host students during the school year, and send students during summer months or school breaks.
Semesters Away
Middlesex is proud to facilitate unique opportunities for students to participate in an off-campus semester program. Students may pursue these opportunities in the second semester of 10th grade or in either semester of 11th grade. We are equipped to work with several programs in places like Vermont, Maine, the Bahamas, and more.
Summer Opportunities
Middlesex is happy to recommend several reputable summer programs for high school students that families can explore. In many cases, these recommendations are first-hand, based on the experiences of past Middlesex students or of Middlesex faculty. They range from general or multi-themed studies to language immersion, service-based, and outdoor or place-based programs.
SUPPORT GLOBAL TRAVEL
While Middlesex offers a robust amount of financial aid annually, each year there is only a limited amount of aid available for students trips. If you are interested in contritbuting funds to make trips accessible to more students on financial aid, this can be done as an additional contribution ton the Annual Fund, restricted for financial aid for international travel. Donations can be made online. Please contact the Alumni and Development office at 978-369-5110 or email cfein@mxschool.edu if you wish to send a check, or, for current families, have an amount billed to a student account.
