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:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
