Kuopio Senior High School of Music and Dance

Kuopio Senior High School of Music and Dance (Finnish: Kuopion yhteiskoulun musiikkilukio) was a specialised music and dance high school which was founded in 1968. The dance curriculum was started in 1983. The high school was the first specialised senior high school of Finnish high schools, which specialised in music and dance. The school gained the name Kuopion yhteiskoulun musiikkilukio in 1995. In August 2015, the high school merged with Minna Canth Senior High School to form Kuopio Senior High School of Arts (Lumit) (Kuopion taidelukio Lumit).

Students could get the standard Finnish upper secondary school education in preparation for the matriculation examination, including mathematics, languages, sciences, history, etc. The music curriculum gave insights into Music Theory and Music History, as well as instrumental/group/orchestra/choir work. Dancers had the choice of taking classical ballet classes as well as modern dance. The high school had approximately 230 students, and about half of them came from outside Kuopio.
