The Theed Royal Academy,[2] also referred to as simply the Royal Academy, was a celebrated learning institution in Theed, the capital of the Naboo culture on the planet Naboo. Gifted children trained there to become public servants,[3] including important young leaders who were groomed for their roles.[4] This included future queen Padmé Amidala, who was groomed to become a leader by government tutors while a student at the academy.[1]
The structure included a building with a rectangular floorplan that had tan walls and a flat turquoise roof with a small central dome, in keeping with the architectural style of the rest of the city.[1] The academy also include a library, although it was not as comprehensive as the library at the Theed Royal Palace.[2]
