About Us
Director's Welcome
Dear prospective students and parents,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Albanian College Tirana II, the newest member of the Albanian College family.
Since opening our doors in September 2024, our dedicated team of passionate and experienced international educators has been committed to bringing high-quality, inquiry-based education to the vibrant community of Kodra e Diellit.
We are proud to have a teaching team representing 11 nationalities, bringing with them a vast range of experiences, perspectives, and first-hand understanding of international education. Their diverse backgrounds enrich our classrooms and inspire students to see the world through multiple lenses — fostering empathy, open-mindedness, and a genuine appreciation for global citizenship.
At ACT II, we build on the strong foundations of our sister schools, Albanian College Tirana I and Albanian College Durrës, offering an inclusive and innovative learning environment where every child is encouraged to think critically, act with integrity, and grow as a lifelong learner.
As an educator and school leader, I deeply value community engagement and the strong partnerships we build with parents. I believe that when families and schools work together with trust and shared purpose, children thrive. Our parents are an essential part of our learning community, contributing their voices, culture, and support to enrich every child’s educational journey.
Together, we strive to nurture curious, confident, and compassionate young people who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.
I warmly invite you to visit our beautiful new campus and experience the spirit of collaboration, curiosity, and joy that makes ACT II such a special place to learn and grow.

About Us
Director's Welcome
Dear Prospective Students and Parents,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Albanian College Tirana II, the newest member of the Albanian College family.
Since opening our doors in September 2024, ACT II has quickly established itself as a distinctive international learning community in the beautiful surroundings of Kodra e Diellit. Our experienced team of international educators brings a genuine passion for teaching and a shared commitment to providing an education that is both academically ambitious and deeply personal.
At the heart of our approach is the belief that every child has the capacity to achieve remarkable things. We create an environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas and take ownership of their learning. Through inquiry and meaningful challenge, we nurture confident young people who think critically and approach the world with curiosity and purpose.
Our international faculty brings a wealth of global experience into the classroom. Their diverse perspectives enrich the learning experience and help our students develop the intercultural understanding and open-mindedness that are essential in an increasingly connected world. We want our students not simply to succeed in school, but to understand their place within a global community.
ACT II builds on the strong foundations and reputation of Albanian College Tirana I and Albanian College Durrës. Our mission is to create a positive and holistic learning environment that recognises and celebrates the uniqueness of every student. We seek to develop young people who are knowledgeable, responsible and internationally minded. Just as importantly, we want them to become compassionate, creative and principled individuals who have the confidence to lead and the courage to make a difference.
Our core values provide the foundation for this journey. Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Excellence and Community shape the culture of our school and guide the choices we make each day. These values are not simply words on a page; they are expectations we strive to live by.
Our vision extends beyond the classroom. We aspire to help transform teaching and learning in Albania by developing young people who take ownership of their education and become thoughtful leaders in their communities and beyond.
I believe that the finest schools are built on strong partnerships. When educators, students and families share a common purpose, children are given the confidence and support they need to flourish. Our parents are an important part of the ACT II community, and we value the contribution they make to school life.
I warmly invite you to visit our beautiful campus and discover what makes Albanian College Tirana II an exceptional place to learn, grow and belong.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to ACT II.
