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.
FYI the Klingon Language Institute (KLI) is {tlhIngan Hol yejHaD}.
AFAIK Okrand has never used {DuSaQ} in a sentence, but the industrious Glen Proechel created several phrases in his ILS materials:
tlhIngan Hol DuSaQ KLINGON LANGUAGE SCHOOL
Hovmey joj Hol DuSaQ INTERSTELLAR LANGUAGE SCHOOL (ILS)
DuSaQ jen HIGH SCHOOL
DuSaQ lupwI' SCHOOL BUS
rIn DuSaQ "SCHOOL'S OUT"
Many of us use *{DuSaQ'a'} for "university".
