arts academy / military academy; also Academia (Plato's school)

Looks like

academy

a school or institution; also an honorary society of scholars

⚠️ The trap

Very similar, but in Italy 'accademia' most often refers specifically to a fine arts school or a military academy — not a general secondary school (which is 'scuola' or 'istituto').

To say "a school or institution; also an honorary society of scholars" in Italian:

N/A

"accademia" in English means:

arts academy / military academy; also Academia (Plato's school)

Example

"Studia pittura all'Accademia di Belle Arti."

"She studies painting at the Fine Arts Academy."
