Starfleet Academy is an institution for learning, specifically to train cadets to be future Starfleet officers.

Traditionally, when a person who wishes to join reaches the age of adult, they submit an application and undergo a series of tests to see if they'll get accepted. Once accepted, they train at one of the facilities, such as the primary one on Earth in the city of San Francisco for four years.

The Academy's motto is "Ex Astris, Scientia", or "From the Stars, Knowledge." (TNG novel: The First Duty; TOS movies: Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

The facilities include holodecks, located on Archer Hall. (SNW short story: "Best Tools Available")

The entrance exam's final question was worth fifty points. (DS9 novel: The Long Night) All cadets were also required to study the worlds that had been destroyed by their dominant species wars and environmental mismanagement. (TOS novel: Prime Directive (novel))
