A military academy is an educational institution that trains students in military leadership, discipline, and skills. These academies often prepare young individuals for careers in the armed forces, providing both academic and physical education. Students learn subjects such as military strategy, leadership, and engineering, alongside traditional academic courses. Many military academies have a structured environment that emphasizes teamwork, respect, and personal responsibility. Graduates typically receive commissions as officers in their respective branches of the military, such as the Army, Navy, or Air Force. Notable examples include the United States Military Academy at West Point and the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis.
