context_page_description: A military academy or service academy is an educational institution which prepares candidates for service in the officer corps. It normally provides education in a military environment, the exact definition depending on the country concerned.
  Three types of academy exist: pre-collegiate-level institutions awarding academic qualifications, university-level institutions awarding bachelor's-degree-level qualifications, and those preparing Officer Cadets for commissioning into the armed services of the state.
  A naval academy is either a type of military academy or is distinguished from one. In U.S. usage, the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy are both service academies.
