I always wondered why there was only one Academy though. For such a large Federation I would think you would have more then one place to teach people.
The only reason to have a Starfleet Academy...

In addition to bonding/learning to work with fellow cadets, there's learning to follow orders from a superior. If you're going to be cooped up in a starship cooperating with and taking orders from other people, it's best to learn how to do it with other people.
They may have had other campuses, but cadets were required to complete at least a portion of their education in San Francisco.

Good call..
Fan have wondered for some time why from dialog there is apparently only "The Academy." It does make more sense to have multiple campuses spread throughout the federation. Why have just the one?
Team building, espirt de corp, converting individuals into a "band of brothers." So you travel the cadets all to a central location, make them live, eat, sleep, learn together. Dress them the same, treat them the same.
E pluribus unum.
Yes, the same reason why there is only one West Point and one Annapolis.
