Falling Star Academy is set on a man-made island, which is quite large. With it's various types of land and climates, it is able to host a wide variety of Pokemon from several regions making it an ideal place for people who want to become a trainer, but don't quite have the confidence or motivation to explore an entire region. The many different biomes allow one to do plenty of exploration while not having to go very far, and will hopefully get them used to the idea of actually traveling through a region one day.
The most notable feature of the island itself is that it is actually in the shape of a six-pointed star. Valeria Saren, who established the Academy and serves as the headmistress, named it "Falling Star Academy" because she likes to think of the academy as a place that grants the wishes of its various students...just like how people occasionally make a wish when they see an actual falling star.
In what is known as the Central Area, the main school building and staff dormitories are located. With the possible exception of the Alpina Ruins, the school is easily the largest building on the island. A Pokemon Lab is also located here, and is it there that students will go to receive their starter Pokemon.
There are also six dorms, each one representing one of the classic Elements, and located in a different area of the island. There's the Air Dorm to the north, the Water Dorm to the northwest, the Fire Dorm to the northeast, the Wood Dorm to the southeast, the Void Dorm to the southwest, and, finally, the Earth Dorm to the south. You can find more info regarding the dorms themselves here.
