The School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont, specializes exclusively in study abroad and international education programming. Rather than a traditional campus-based college, SIT operates as a gateway to experiential learning across the globe. Students spend semesters abroad studying world regions, languages, and international issues firsthand in their geographic context.
Programs emphasize sustainability, social justice, conflict resolution, and international development. Each semester abroad includes intensive language study, regional seminars, and community-based independent research projects. Faculty members are internationally experienced scholars and practitioners who guide students through transformative overseas education.
The Brattleboro headquarters serves as a planning and transition center where students prepare for international study and process experiences upon return. SIT serves approximately 2,000 students annually across semester and summer programs worldwide. Graduates possess genuine international competence, language skills, and cross-cultural understanding—valuable assets in an increasingly globalized workforce.
