Jan Zamoyski
Main building of the Academy

The Zamoyski Academy (Polish: Akademia Zamojska; Latin: Hippaeum Zamoscianum; 1594–1784) was an academy founded in 1594 by Polish Crown Chancellor Jan Zamoyski.[1] It was the third institution of higher education to be founded in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2] After his death it slowly lost its importance, and in 1784 it was downgraded to a lyceum. The present-day I Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Hetmana Jana Zamoyskiego w Zamościu is one of several secondary schools in Zamość.
