The Almas Academy on Almas is an unorthodox Jedi training facility founded in 177 BBY. It is headed by the Almas Council.
The Academy is an experimental one because it accepts older students, a tradition which began with the local Tarasin. Eventually they accepted even adults to begin training as Jedi, although those they accepted were carefully screened. Anyway, the Almas Academy can never accept an applicant that had already been rejected by another praxeum.

The Almas Academy is kept under scrutiny of the Jedi Council on Coruscant because of this experiment. The Council yearly sanctions Almas students, occasionally sends Jedi Knights to teach in Almas, and particularly keeps an eye on the potentially dangerous situation of the ancient Sith Fortress on Almas.

As the Cularin system is quite isolated, the Academy attracts some Jedi who thrive in meditation and introspection.
