The buildings are up and the grass is planted ready for Tauranga's newest school to open in just over two weeks.
ACG Tauranga, a private school to be operated by the Academic Colleges Group, will open its doors for the first time on February 2, with an expected roll of under 40 pupils.
Annual fees for the school this year are $14,200 for a Year 1 to 6 pupil or $16,600 for a Year 7 to 9 child for a lump-sum payment.
As well as Tauranga locals, students would also be bussing to school from Katikati, Rotorua and Te Puke.
ACG development manager Barbara Burns said 12 classrooms would open in February, soon followed by the science block and later in the year, a pre-school. The current buildings, designed for low environmental impact, can accommodate 300 students and Ms Burns expected it would take three to four years to reach that capacity.
