Hi there,
I just red the inner sea magic and was quite interrested in the different magic schools proposed (ie Academia, guild, secret order, monasteries). In order to use it in my campaign (Crimson Throne) I would need a new type of school: military college.
This is where I need you.
What should be the general bonus of such a school ?
What would be the specific description that couldfit to (for example) the Sable compagny ?
I tried to answer my first question based on the other kind of school.
trainee (5 Fame): access to the training ground and the armory. (?)
Soldier (20 Fame): Using military contacts, you can gain a 10% bonus on the amount of money you make selling armor and weapon items.
Officer (35 Fame): Gain leadership feat. (?)
General (50 Fame): You no longer need to pay tuition. Every time you would normally pay tuition, you instead earn that amount of gold as your salary.
what do you think about ?

Maybe use the current faction system as a guideline. This magic school could be a minor faction itself, or serve a larger faction. I am not familar with Crimson Throne, but I assume there is some factions involved already. Either pathfinder society field guide, or Pathfinder Chronicles Faction Guide might help.

I did have a look on this book and found nothing related to the schools of magic. So here is what I suggest:
Military academies differ from magic school on one major point (beside magic is not teached) Semester tuitions can be paid in services instead of gold. For a 100% free tuition one can offers 6/7 day of military service.
Depending on his/her fame, a student of a military school gains the following access:
trainee (5 Fame): access to the training ground and the armory. Choose one str or con based skill. you become expert in this skill (the skill becomes class skill or you gain a +1 bonus to it, if it is already part of your class skill)
Soldier (20 Fame): Using military contacts, you can gain a 10% bonus on the amount of money you earn selling armors and weapons items.
Officer (35 Fame): Gain leadership feat. (may be too strong)
General (50 Fame): You no longer need to pay tuition. Every time you would normally pay tuition, you instead earn that amount of gold as your salary.
