More on Starfleet Academy
Description from Wikipedia:
In the fictional universe of Star Trek, Starfleet Academy is where the future members of Starfleet are trained. It was created in the year 2161, when the United Federation of Planets was founded. The Academy's motto is "Ex astris, scientia" - "from the stars, knowledge". This is a paraphrase of the Apollo 13 motto "Ex luna scientia," - "From the moon, knowledge." In turn, the Apollo 13 motto was a paraphrase of "Ex scientia tridens," the motto of the United States Naval Academy, meaning "From knowledge, seapower."
The main campus of the Academy is located near Starfleet headquarters on Earth, on the Presidio in San Francisco, California, although there are other campuses. Tom Paris studied at a campus in Marseille, France.
The Japanese Garden, located on the grounds of the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys, California, over 300 miles away, was used to film the main San Francisco campus (pictured). Images of the Golden Gate Bridge were superimposed to make the location appear as if it were actually in San Francisco.
The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Coming of Age" revolved around Wesley Crusher's first attempt to enter Starfleet Academy, and includes many details of the Academy's entrance exam.
In 1995, a computer game with a story surrounding the Academy, called "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy", was released by Interplay and High Voltage Software.
