Kolej Tunku Kurshiah (Tunku Kurshiah College) or better known as TKC, Malay name Maktab Perempuan Melayu, is a premier boarding school located in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. TKC is the most popular all-girls residential school (Sekolah Berasrama Penuh) and the first fully residential girls' school in Malaysia. The students in the school bear the name Kurshiah. In 2010, the school was awarded with the Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi or High Performance School title, a title awarded to the 20 schools in Malaysia that have met stringent criteria including academic achievement, strength of alumni, international recognition, network and linkages. The school is specialised in leadership, innovation and invention.
In the 2013 PMR examination, the school managed to produce 96 out of 112 (85.7%) of straight A students with GPS 1.03 to the best school in Negeri Sembilan while for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), the school GPS is 1.5.
Tunku Kurshiah College was established as Malay Girls College in 1947. It was initially located at a piece of land located at the 2 1/2 Mile of Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. It was officially opened by Lady Gent, the wife of Sir Edward Gent, the Governor of Malayan Union. The place is now known as Bukit Damansara.
In April 1962, the college moved to a 25 acres (100,000 m2) site at Bukit Merbah, Jalan Tunku Kurshiah, Seremban. The college changed its name to Tunku Kurshiah College, in honour of the first Raja Permaisuri Agong. It was formalised when the college was declared open by Almarhum Tuanku Munawir ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the then Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan on 24 May 1963.
