[edit] Academy preparatory schools

At least in North America, there was one Academy Institute in each state or province. (VOY novel: Mosaic)

The Academy Institutes may have been similar to elementary and secondary schools that were military academies in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The Starfleet Academy Preparatory Program (DS9: "Facets") may have been waived for Academy cadet-aspirants who attended an Academy Institute.

[edit] Coursework

Every cadet also had to undergo a physical recruit training which involved obstacle course training. (Dragon Ball Z vs. Star Trek: The Way of Infinity)

Cadets on the command-track were given the infamous Kobayashi Maru scenario to test how they would handle a no-win situation.
