History
- Viipurin triviaalikoulu (trivium school of Vyborg), established in 1534, was relocated to Kuopio in 1777.
- In 1788, as the relocation seemed to became permanent, the school was replaced by Kuopion triviaalikoulu (trivium school of Kuopio).
- In 1843 the Finnish education system was restructured and the Kuopio's trivium school became initially Kuopion Yläalkeiskoulu (equivalent to junior high school) and a year later in 1844 it was established as Kuopion Lukio (equivalent to senior high school). The first principal of Kuopion Yläalkeiskoulu was Johan Vilhelm Snellman, one of the most influential 19th century Finnish statemsmen and philosophers.
- Kuopion Lyseo was established in 1872 by merging these two schools, Kuopion Yläalkeiskoulu and Kuopion Lukio. Finnish was established as the teaching language.
- In 1975 Kuopion Lyseo was again divited to two different schools: Kauppatorin yläaste, later Vuorilammen yläaste, which is equivalent to junior high school (age group 13-15 years) and Kuopion Lyseon Lukio which is equivalent to senior high school (age group 16-19 years).
- In 1994 Kuopion Lyseon Lukio started also International Baccalaureate school in addition to the regular Finnish lukio senior high school. The teaching language in the IB school is English.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
