— We Hear You

The Concerns We Most Often Hear

We have invested in language courses before, without the results we hoped for.

Our organization needs training that produces measurable, lasting change.

Our son intends to study abroad. He needs a recognized, credible certificate.

I have missed professional opportunities because my language skills were not where they needed to be.

Our daughter needs real English proficiency, not simply the ability to pass a test.

I would like to learn Albanian so that I can communicate meaningfully with the people here.

At Lincoln, we’ve been answering them — one student, one family, one organization at a time, with results that speak for themselves.

— ABOUT LINCOLN CENTERS OF ALBANIA

Trusted Education Since 1997

Founded in Tirana in 1997, the Abraham Lincoln Foundation of Albania began with a single, clear purpose: to be the most trusted learning organization in the country.

What started as a small language school on Rruga Qemal Stafa has grown into a leading educational institution serving children, adults, and professionals across Albania. To date, Lincoln has personally issued more than 100,000+ certificates of earned proficiency — each one a genuine achievement by a real student. It is now recognized as the largest language school in southern Europe.

We are a self-sustaining not-for-profit, and we answer to our students, not shareholders. Our Board of Directors serves without compensation, and every resource we receive is directed toward our mission: to serve others for their good.

Training Designed for Every Stage of Life.

Lincoln offers structured, proven programs for children, students, professionals, and organizations. Each program is designed not only to build language skill, but to equip learners for real-world success.

Ages 4 to 15

Children

Our programs are designed to give young learners a genuine foundation in English built through age-appropriate methods, consistent encouragement, and a structured curriculum that emphasizes real communication over rote learning.

We regard it as both a privilege and a responsibility to partner with parents in their children’s development.

Ages 16 and Up

Teens and Adults

Whether preparing for university entrance, pursuing a career change, or seeking to communicate more effectively in a professional environment, our programs for older learners are structured around practical outcomes. Students develop language skills they can apply immediately and earn certifications that are recognized by employers, universities, and institutions across Albania.

Businesses and Organizations

Lincoln provides customized training for organizations that require measurable results. Programs in English communication, leadership, customer service, and management — including our Managing by Results program — are delivered in Albanian and English and tailored to the specific needs of each team.

Albanian for Foreigners and Diaspora

Lincoln is among the leading centers in Tirana for the teaching of Albanian as a foreign language. We serve both international residents building a life in Albania and members of the diaspora reconnecting with their heritage. Instruction begins at the foundational level and continues through confident, practical fluency.

— From our students

What Students from the Lincoln Programs Have to Say...

The best parts of studying at Lincoln are the quality of the explanations and the way everyone in the class works together toward the same goal — better English.

Agetina
Age 17

The best center for learning a foreign language. I had a wonderful experience — the staff were exceptional and the instruction was the finest I have encountered.

Joana

Lincoln feels like a second home for our family throughout both the academic year and summer programs. Sofia thrives in a comfortable and supportive environment where she learns new skills while enjoying engaging, fun activities. We are grateful for the opportunity and proud to be part of the Lincoln community for many years.
