The Zosimaia School is an educational building in Ioannina, inaugurated in 1955 opposite the Church of Archimandrio, featuring traditional Greek architectural design. The structure on Zosimadon Street houses the city's first general high school and contains modern teaching facilities.

The institution was founded in 1828 by the Zosimas brothers and initially operated as a general school in a Turkish building near the old Jewish cemetery. It achieved Model High School status in 1937, becoming a leading educational institution in the Epirus region.

The school was known for teaching Greek, Latin, Italian, and French languages to its students. This broad language instruction set it apart from other educational institutions in the region and reflected its role as a center of intellectual life in Ioannina.

The school building is easily accessible on Zosimadon Street and features traditional architecture reflecting its heritage. Visitors can explore the exterior and take advantage of its location near other historic sites throughout the city.

The school counted around 215 students by 1852, making it a substantial educational institution for its time. This large enrollment made it an important center of intellectual development across the entire Epirus region.
