I think you mean alma mater
al·ma ma·ter or Al·ma Ma·ter (ăl'mə mä'tər, äl'mə)
n.
The school, college, or university that one has attended.
The anthem of an institution of higher learning.
[From Latin Alma Māter, nourishing mother (epithet of certain goddesses) : alma, feminine of almus, nourishing + māter, mother; see maternal.]

If you're misspelling alma mater, it usually means the college someone went to (example: 'her alma mater is Harvard'). If not, i have no clue what alma martar would mean.

First of all, it is ALMA MATER, and it is Latin for "fostering mother." It refers to a school, college, or university from which someone has graduated, as well as the school's song.
