Brazil Has several military academies, and the biggest is Academia Militar de Agulhas Negras in the municipality of Resende, Rio de Janeiro, in States of Brazil of Rio de Janeiro (state), in the southeast of that country.

Canada Canada currently has one military-theme private boarding school open for students at the pre-university level, Robert Land Academy (RLA), which is located in West Lincoln, Ontario. Founded in 1977, it is an all-boys' institute whose funding arises solely from tuition fees. The Academy is an institute fully accredited by the province of Ontario, which accepts students from Grade 6 to Grade 12 (the Ontario Academic Credit level).

Canada formerly had three university level service academies, the Canadian Military Colleges. These included the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario, Royal Roads Military College (RRMC) in Victoria, British Columbia and the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean (CMR) in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec. RMC was founded in 1876, RRMC in 1941 and CMR in 1954. H16511 Dr. Richard Arthur Preston "To Serve Canada: A History of the Royal Military College of Canada" 1997 Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 1969. By the 60s all three institutions were providing *military education to officer cadets of all three elements in the Canadian Forces; the navy, army and air force; and RMC received the authority to grant academic degrees in Arts, Science and Engineering. 4237 Dr. Adrian Preston & Peter Dennis (Edited) "Swords and Covenants" Rowman And Littlefield, London. Croom Helm. 1976.

Graduates of the Colleges are widely acknowledged to have had a disproportionate impact in the Canadian services and society, thanks to the solid foundations provided by their military education. H16511 Dr. Richard Preston "R.M.C. and Kingston: The effect of imperial and military influences on a Canadian community" 1968 In the modern era, emphasis was placed on a broad based, liberal education including core courses in the humanities, social, pure and applied sciences. Military discipline and training, as well as a focus on physical fitness and fluency in both of Canada's two official languages, English and French, provided cadets with ample challenges and a very fulfilling experience.

France Undergraduates academies : Postgraduates academies :

The école polytechnique, though its students are enlisted in the military, is no longer a military academy, as very few of its graduates remain in the military after graduation.

Germany In Germany there are four categories of military academies:

Any soldier who is enlisted as a regular officer cadet first goes through basic military training at a replacement army unit. Afterwards he attends military schools called Offiziersschule (backwards: Kriegsschule) and Waffenschule. Requirement for attending these schools is Abitur passed at Gymnasium (school). As Offiziersschulen are training schools for officers at the level of platoon-leader which cater to all arms of the Bundeswehr, Waffenschulen which the soldiers enter after Offizersschule cater for the special arm of service (i.e. infantry etc.) Before becoming commissioned, the cadets have to pass an officer exam. The period between getting enlisted and becoming commissioned takes three years.

After the officer is commissioned he regularly serves some months in his army unit as a platoon-leader. Afterwards he attends a university of the Bundeswehr. These universities run bachelor, master and PhD programs in non-military subjects (i.e. engineering, history, social studies, economics etc.). Goals of these universities are less a military but rather a preparation for a civil profession after period of service. The officers are taught by university professors (not by officers). Despite the civilian faculty, these kind of universities cannot be attended by civilians.

The Führungsakademie of the Bundeswehr runs a post-graduate program to prepare experienced officers for serving in general staff. The program of Führungsakademie is called Generalstabslehrgang. It lasts 2 years.

==United States==

The United States is almost unique in that the term "military academy" does not necessarily mean an institution run by the armed forces to train its own military officers; it may also mean a middle school, high school or tertiary-level college, whether public or private, which instructs its students in military-style education, discipline and tradition. Delinquent or criminal children are occasionally sent to military schools to be reformed by the strict regimen and association with high-performing classmates.

Most public high schools now offer Junior ROTC programs based off college-level ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Course).



Military academies can be either private or have government sponsorship from regional (U.S. state) or national government.

The universities operated by the U.S. Federal Government are referred to as the Federal Service Academies and are:



State-Sponsored Military Academy:



In addition, several institutions which were at the time of their founding military colleges, maintain both a corps of cadets and a civilian student body. These include:



If you include Virginia Military Institute, these institutions create the six Senior Military Colleges.

Five institutions are considered Military Junior Colleges. These five schools participate in the Army's two-year Early Commissioning Program (ECP), an Army Reserve Officers Training Corps program, where qualified students can earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant after only two years of college. The five Military Junior Colleges are:



Note: The terms college and university are interchangeable in the below discussion. They are both used to denote an institution of higher learning which a person might attend after attending high school, typically at age 17, 18, or 19.

Pre-collegiate institutions A military school teaches various ages (middle school, high school, or both) in a manner that includes military traditions and training in military subjects. The vast majority are in the United States. Many military schools are also boarding schools, and others are simply magnet schools in a larger school system. Many are privately run institutions, though some are public and are run by either a public school system (such as the Chicago Public Schools), or by a state.

A common misperception results because some states have chosen to house their child criminal populations in higher-security boarding schools that are run in a manner similar to military boarding schools. These are also called reform schools, and are functionally a combination of school and prison. They attempt to emulate the high standards of established military boarding schools in the hope that a strict structured environment can reform these children. This may or may not be true. However, this should not reflect on the long and distinguished history of military schools; their associations are traditionally those of high academic achievement, with solid college preparatory curricula, schooling in the military arts, and considerably esteemed graduates.

Popular culture sometimes shows parents sending or threatening to send unruly children off to military school.

Adult institutions A college level military academy is an institute of higher learning of things military. It is part of a larger system of military education and training institutions. The primary educational goal at military academies is to provide a high quality education that includes significant coursework and training in the fields of military tactics and military strategy. The amount of non-military coursework varies by both the institution and the country, and the amount of practical military experience gained varies as well.

Military academies may or may not grant university degrees. In the U.S., graduates have a major field of study, earning a Bachelor's degree in that subject just as at other universities. However, in British academies, the graduate does not achieve a university degree, since the whole of the one-year course is dedicated to military training.

There are two types of military academies: national (government-run) and state/private-run.
