(HQ 4.4:11):  The most general word for school (a place for learning) is {DuSaQ}. A specialized school, perhaps translatable as academy, is {'ampaS}. An organization dedicated to scholastic pursuits or research is a {yejHaD} "institute" or "institution" or a {yej'an} "society". The distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the former is usually -- but not always -- used for larger organizations.

TREK TRIVIA:
  "You have no understanding about what it means to be Klingon. I will arrange for you to attend a Klingon school. There you will learn the lessons I have failed to teach you. […] A Klingon school will be a better environment for you. […] Klingon schools are designed to be difficult. The physical and mental hardships faced by the students are meant to build character and strength." (Worf to Alexander, TNG "New Ground")
