About Mälardalen International School (MISV)

Mälardalen International School was founded by Industritekniska Gymnasiet AB's owner Fredrik Svensson in close collaboration with Northvolt, Hitachi and Västerås municipality. We believe high quality education is the most important aspect for a sustainable future.

We create high aspirations for future generations

Every child is a very special individual who needs a welcoming, warm, safe but also challenging environment in which to grow. A child’s natural curiosity to explore his/her world gives teachers the basis on which to build learning experiences that will provide a solid foundation for the years to come. Mälardalen International School recognises the importance of the school years. We know that it is vital that each child receives a high-quality education. Our students have the best opportunities to continue growing into creative, resilient, independent, flexible and socially adept young global citizens.

Candidate School

Mälardalen International School is a Candidate School for the PYP (Primary Years Programme) and the MYP ( Middle Years Programme). This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Mälardalen International School believes is important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org
