Royal College Curepipe
Established in 1791, Royal College Curepipe (RCC) is the most prestigious state secondary school in Mauritius. Known for exceptionally high admission standards and a long tradition of producing laureates of the Higher School Certificate, RCC consistently ranks among the top academic institutions on the island. The iconic granite building, styled after Buckingham Palace and completed in 1914, is a national heritage site. Since 2021, RCC has operated as an academy, admitting both male and female students with outstanding results at the National Certificate of Education, ensuring a tradition of excellence continues.

RCC offers a broad and rigorous curriculum spanning sciences, humanities and the arts, led by dedicated educators. The college consistently achieves top-tier results—with multiple Higher School Certificate laureates each year, including 15 laureates in 2024, making it a powerhouse of academic performance.
Over the years, RCC has significantly upgraded its facilities, which now include a gymnasium/multi-purpose hall, advanced science and computer labs, a library, auditorium, music room, and sports grounds. The college fosters a holistic environment supporting academic growth alongside sports, cultural clubs, and leadership initiatives

A legacy institution with over two centuries of educational prominence and nearly 100 years in Curepipe
-
A hub of academic achievement and laureate production
-
Comprehensive infrastructure supporting academics, arts, culture, and sport
-
A strong alumni culture, contributing to Mauritius’s political, professional, and social leadership
