The Royal College Curepipe (commonly known as RCC) is considered the most prestigious secondary school with extremely high admission standards in Curepipe, Mauritius. Since 1791 it has been regarded as a school of excellence and started to build a consistent laureateship from the 1800s.

In the past, it only admitted boys with the best results at the Certificate of Primary Education (CPE) exams, based on national rankings. RCC has a tradition of Higher School Certificate (HSC) laureates who compete for state scholarships for tertiary studies abroad.

Following education system reforms and the introduction of nine year schooling, RCC was converted into an Academy in 2021. It became a co-education institution, admitting the best-performing male and female students of the National Certificate of Education who have obtained 8 aggregates.
