Internationella Engelska Skolan (IES) has signed a rental contract with Skanska for the construction of a new school in Växjö that is scheduled to open for the start of the 2022/23 academic year. The school will be built in Telestadshöjden, a newly built neighbourhood just south of Växjö where Skanska and Växjö Municipality are developing a new residential area featuring numerous new apartments and detached and semi-detached houses. The school, which will be a compulsory school with two parallel classes for grades F9, will accommodate approximately 600 students when fully developed. Provided all the necessary permits are obtained, the queue for IES Växjö will open on 1 February 2021.
