* The setting of ''[[Anime/PilotCandidate Candidate For Goddess]]''.

* The [[FunWithAcronyms P.Y.R.A.M.I.D.]] (Pharaoh Yasiro’s Research Academy and Military Initiative of Defense) in ''WesternAnimation/CleopatraInSpace'' which is a school for teens of various species that functions not unlike Starfleet, i.e. focusing on exploration and science while also having the main objective of fighting the GalacticConquerer BigBad that the titular Cleopatra is destined to defeat. In practice it's basically high school and part of Cleopatra's adjustment to being brought into the future is going from princess of Ancient Egypt to OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent and all that entails, i.e. dealing with the local AlphaBitch and trying not to embarrass herself in front of her crush (and mostly failing at the second.) Interestingly, the three-man teams within the student body can become "official" and go on actual missions once they're approved by the ruling body of the academy, which allows Cleo and her friends to have adventures while still living the student life.

* ''Series/RedDwarf'' makes references to a Space Corps Academy, where Rimmer had wanted to attend, but wasn't sent like his brothers were. [[spoiler: Well, except [[NotSoDifferent Howard]].]]

* The Military Junior Pre-Academy of ''Manga/GingaKikoutaiMajesticPrince'' is a military school that trains DesignerBabies to be space pilots.

* The Imperial Military Academy ("We don't march towards the future, we ''charge it.''") in the ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga''

* ''Franchise/StarTrek''

* ''Series/{{Pandora}} starts off with main character Jax being sent to Space Academy after the death of her parents.

Essentially the AcademyOfAdventure RecycledInSpace (Though it doesn't necessarily have to physically be ''in'' space). Good setting for a BootCampEpisode in a ScienceFiction series.

* The Swordmasters of the Ginaz of ''Literature/Dune'' have brutal academy where they train to become skilled not only in the sword but also tactics, military protocol, all weapons, political maneuvering, ship combat, and more. Duncan Idaho was Swordmaster for House Atreides.

* Saganami Island in the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series, where the officers of the Royal Manticoran Navy are trained, and where Honor herself was an instructor for a while.

* ''Film/Spacecamp'' takes a far more fantastical, action- and romance-oriented turn on the RealLife version of Space Camp. The characters even manage to take a trip into space, courtesy of the RobotBuddy.

** The Imperial Academy; it trains TIE Fighter pilots. Luke wished to go there (the fact that Luke, who claims to hate the Empire, is planning to go there shows just how desperate he is to leave the desert world he grew up on), and Biggs actually trained there (then defected). ''[[Film/{{Solo}}: A Star Wars Story]]'' reveals that Han Solo also trained there before getting kicked out and sent to the infantry. A DeletedScene shows Han crashing a TIE fighter, the very reason he was kicked out.
