After thirty-two years at Norwich University, the Russian School closed in the fall of 2000. The school was founded in 1958 at Windham College in Putney, VT, and moved to Norwich University in 1968. Norwich offered a six-week intensive undergraduate program in Russian language and culture, as well as graduate courses in literature, culture and theory. In addition to five hours of classroom instruction each day, the school included a full theater production, a festival production, a film series, a study cafe, and a lecture series. During the cold war era, enrollment swelled to more than 300 students. The Russian School at Norwich University was once the second-oldest and third-largest language school in the nation.
