The Kaplaneios School is one of Ioannina’s most significant educational landmarks, with a history dating back to the late 18th century. It was founded in 1797 and was closely linked to the intellectual development of the city during a period when Ioannina was emerging as a major center of learning and culture. Its name is associated with the benefactor Zoë Kaplanis, while the presence of Athanasios Psalidas, who took charge of its organization and administration, was also decisive.
The school operated on the site of the older Maroutsaia School and was distinguished for its high standard of education and its equipment, which was modern for the time. Its operation was interrupted in 1821 when it was destroyed; the current building was erected later, between 1922 and 1926. Today, it houses a school complex in the city center, keeping alive the region’s long-standing connection to education.
