[Star Wars] In Episode IV, Luke talks about wanting to join "the academy" after the farming season is over. Which Academy is he talking about?

The Rebellion wouldn't really have the infrastructure to support some sort of formal "Academy", so is he talking about the Imperial Academy?  Why would he join the Empire if he hates it?  Or is it standard practice to join the Imperial Academy for training then defect to the Rebellion?

The Imperial academy.  Its a commercial/non military arm of the Empire.  Luke was hoping to get an assignment to a ship as an officer like Biggs Darklighter did and likely jump ship to join the Rebellion.
