Located in Central Florida, the home serves the needs of developmentally disabled children and adults in a caring, loving environment full of life enrichment activities and social opportunities.

In the more than 100 years since its founding, Alma has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in Kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, student pipers and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.
