The Academia de Línguas da Madeira, ALM, a cultural association founded in 1976, recognised by the local Board of Education, is the oldest language school in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The main school is in the Centre of Funchal, a friendly seaside city with many interesting places to visit and lots of things to do. We also have branches in Machico, Santa Cruz and Estreito de Câmara de Lobos. The ALM is a school for people of all ages, with different departments for children (under 10), juniors (10 to 13) and teenagers/adults. Although we are a large school (15 classrooms), the atmosphere is very friendly. We are proud of our staff who offer individual attention and support to every student. Our reasonable prices offer you good value for money with generous discounts for long term students. ALM has one aim and purpose: to ensure that students get the best possible language learning experience.
