go to the academy vs go to academy

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Go to the academy" is used when referring to a specific academy, but "go to academy" is used in a more general sense. The presence of the article 'the' in the first phrase makes it specific, while its absence in the second phrase makes it more general.
