Different countries have different definitions for their military academies or institutions, but then, Military Schools generally refer to Military academic institutions. Military Academies are usually of three types High school level, University Level Institutions and those that cater only to army officers and cadets. Most countries usually run only the last kind of military schools.
However, The United States Military Academy generally can be a high-school, college or a university and sometimes a special training academy for naval, air force or army cadets.
Nevertheless, there are some fine distinctions to be known when it comes to these military institutions. Military Schools refer to high-school, tertiary schools and the like while Military Academies generally refer to collegiate and post-collegiate institutions and Universities.
Usually most of the colleges here in the U.S usually focus on imparting military-style education, tradition and values and are not only just army established schools only for the uses of the army, the navy and the air force. They can also be tertiary schools, colleges and Universities and will function just like public educational institutions. Military academies and schools can be run or funded by either private funding, donations or trusteeships and also public or federal funding.
A military school caters to the educational needs of almost all age groups of students (Middle school or High school or sometimes both). They give equal emphasis on general education and also military subjects like strategy, weaponry and management of teams. Some Schools even venture forth and give their graduating students courses in management to be able to handle stress, manage people and take quick but adroit decisions.
Though the military schools and academies are not to be misconstrued and being thought of Reform Schools (Which work basically to imbibe some education in a reformist culture which necessarily means a combination of School and Prison) and boarding schools, military institutions stand out due to their rather long, illustrious and distinguished history imparting of exemplary quality education, solid course curriculums combined with military rigor and training.
The adult educational institutions or Military Academies are at a higher level of Military Educational Systems. Most Military Academies might or might not grant degree certification but might certainly be affiliated to some other prestigious university to provide for the same. They are two types mainly state run and privately run. The United States already has a long list of prestigious Military schools and Academies which are already giving many other public and private educational institutions a run for their money.
