The Universal college in Rivière du Rempart is a private college founded in 1961, and as of 2015 hosted a variety of classes, from yoga and music to science and business, as well as extracurricular activities including a communal and vegetable garden, reflecting the local community's history of generational farming and tending lands. It was cited in 2018 among Mauritian private colleges with declining enrollments, specifically those where parents wanted better education for their children.
