Academy

An academy (Attic Greek: ; Koine Greek: ) is an institution of tertiary education. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. The Royal Spanish Academy defines academy as scientific, literary or artistic society established with public authority and as a teaching establishment, public or private, of a professional, artistic, technical or simply practical nature.
