* ''WesternAnimation/BarbiePrincessCharmSchool'': Said school revolve around this trope, and yet it [[SubvertedTrope subvert it]] in many ways. The academy is a high school, and the setting is PresentDay, although each student have a FairyCompanion. They wear mundane uniforms, [[PimpedOutDress ball dresses]] being for the coronation day. The school isn't princesses-only, a good portion of students are ladies royal in training. Apart from this it's very classical: tiaras are part of the uniform, (and lockers are topped with these too) the cafeteria look like a normal one until you notice the crystal and silver cutlery, there is a princes school next door, students travel by carriage. And the main protagonist, Blair, is a commoner FishOutOFWater entered after wining a lady royal scholarship in a lottery.[[spoiler: Until it's revealed she was a [[HiddenBackupPrince honest-to-God princess]] all along]].

The latter will often be the main protagonist, here because of her RoyalBlood [[RagsToRoyalty she ignored until then for some reason]], or due to a scholarship given by an AnonymousBenefactor. If not, TheHero will be a NaiveNewcomer, already familiar with royalty she was born in but ignorant about content of school subjects. In any case it's a SpoiledSweet.

Being about a Swiss boarding school for rich ladies, princesses here are more of the MafiaPrincess kind.

* ''GirlGenius'': The baron's school onboard Castle Wulfenbach. The baron, who is also dictator of most of Europe, takes the children of the rulers of every province he has conquered to go to school. While the children's parents and the older children are well aware that they are there to guarantee their parents' good behaviour, they are given a first-class education (both general education and in statecraft) and encouraged to become RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething (to subvert DeadlyDecadentCourt) and make friends (so they will become more reluctant to go to war with each other when they inherit their respective thrones).

* Literature/PrincessAcademy : The particularity here is that girls are not of RoyalBlood, but are still educated as princesses, so the best student can marry the prince and become princess for real.


* [[http://www.tiaraclub.co.uk/ The tiara club]] is a children book series revolving around a princesses [[BoardingSchool boarding academy]]. The teachers being kings, queens and fairies, this is set in MedievalEuropeanFantasy times though princesses's clothes on covers are [[AnachronismStew pretty modern]]. The pupils get or loose « tiara points » depending on their behavior ( in [[DistaffCounterpart sister Princes School]], it's crown points.). The narrator change in every book ; the first of them, Princess Charlotte, notice with shock she is supposed to sleep in mundane cotton bedsheets instead of silk ones, among others things. The Princess academy is especially designed to learn to princesses [[BreakTheHaughty how is life outside a palace]].

* In the french children novel ''The masqued prince'' , the [[GreatDetective titular character]] investigate on a series of sabotages that happened in a royal TwoTeacherSchool. [[spoiler: The culprit turn out to be a little witch infiltrated among princesses.]]

However the expression [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses « modern princesses »]] is often used to design said gothic lolitas, and even the academy is once called a princesses school. No wonder why : it's set in a manor with a {{Bizarrchitecture}}, have weekly DancesAndBalls, [[spoiler: and turn out to have been built on princess Literature/{{Cinderella}} 's tomb.]]

* SofiaTheFirst : The royal prep is a rare co-educated version, ruled by the three fairies from Disney/SleepingBeauty, and with interventions from the DisneyPrincess team. Sofia is a NaiveNewcomer here, because she recently became princess by adoption. There is a few pupils and they are from all around the world, to justify the number problem evoked above. But you can wonder how they are not late for school every morning.

* WesternAnimation/WinxClub : Alfea is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed version]] : it's primary a WizardingSchool for fairies . However, about four of the six main characters are princesses, and four others students are princesses as well ( Galatea from Melody, Crystal from Lymphea, [[spoiler: Roxy from Earth]], and Varanda from Callisto, who finally cancelled her registration.) The Winx dormitory being filled with princesses, maybe it is a « special royal » one. Plus Alfea is a BrightCastle with a ball room.

Conveniently, it mixes every little girl's [[PrincessPhase dream of being a princess]] and every little girl's duty to go to school in modern days .


Little girls will be the main target audience for that reason, and said school is very often a [[OneGenderSchool all-girls one.]] After all princes are a [[PrinceCharmless less interesting population,]] [[TheEvilPrince aren't they]]? Even if the existence of a [[PrinceCharming princes charming sister school]] in the neighborhood will certainly be mentioned, and pupils of said school be invited for DancesAndBalls. And still due to the audience age it will usually be an elementary school.

In RealLife, schools for royal children didn't existed like it's depicted in fictional stories. Princesses, all along with other nobles were very well educated but home schooled before compulsory school days. The result looked a lot smaller than in fiction. Modern princes and princesses go among commoners in regulars -yet upper class ones- academies. The reason is, like mentioned before, royal children would never be numerous enough to justify the need to open such a school.
