Actually that's something that I can only vaguely answer. The academy is actually just a castle out in the middle of dessert. There's no teachers, no one besides our princesses and princes! Some of the mice and spiders can speak but there are no other outside influences. This is all I can tell you as more will be learned in the GM events. 

I plan to come up with a map yes (struggling to draw one) and for security there is none. There is merely the elements and the dragons keeping you there... at least from what you can see.
