akademia

English translation: Academy

Polish to English translations [PRO]
Polish term or phrase: akademia
Np. Wychowania Fizycznego

Czy w dalszym ciągu obstajemy przy Academy, czy też śladem innych uczelni przechodzimy na University. Nie chcę się sugerować niczego, ale interesuje mnie Wrocław. Na ich stronie internetowej nazwano Akademię "University School". No, własnie ... , jakoś cos mnie powstrzymuje przed uzyciem tego zwrotu. Wasze opinie mogłyby mi pomóc w podjęciu decyzji. Pomożecie? :-)

Explanation:
academy
n.
1 a private secondary or high school
2 a school offering instruction or training in a special field [a music academy]
3 an association of scholars, writers, artists, etc., for advancing literature, art, or science
the Academy
[Webster's]


Myślę że można pozostać przy Academy, szczególnie gdy z kontekstu jasno wynika, że chodzi o uczelnię wyższą.

A tak a propos różnic GB-USA, to istnieje coś takiego:

\"The Diplomatic Academy of London (DAL) has enacted this mission as the longest established British institution that pioneered integrated training programmes in Diplomatic Studies and International Relations (MA, MPhil & PhD Degrees ) \"
[http://www.wmin.ac.uk/DAL/default.htm]

Bo o California Maritime Academy, West Point Military Academy czy australijskiej Australian Defence Force Academy chyba nie muszę wspominać.
