Our Story

Founded in 1995, Academia Linguarum Internationalis began with a vision to create an educational institution that combines academic excellence with global perspective. Our founders, a group of educators and diplomats, recognized the need for an educational approach that prepares students for an increasingly interconnected world.

Starting with just 45 students in a small building in central Warsaw, ALI has grown to become one of Poland's most respected international schools, now serving over 800 students from more than 40 countries.

Throughout our history, we have maintained a commitment to innovative teaching methods, cultural understanding, and personalized education that honors each student's unique potential.
