Military academy

A military academy is a military educational institution. Their exact definition depends on the country.

There are three types of military academies: High school-level institutions, university-level institutions, and those only serving to prepare officer cadets for commissioning into the armed services of a state. Most countries only have the last category, and in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, they are more appropriately called service academies, since the term "military" is usually reserved for the army.
