In an ever-changing world, it is crucial for learners to develop a strong foundation in critical thinking, democratic values, and sustainability. We offer our students a high-quality education that inspires action, self-awareness, and leadership for the world of tomorrow.
Our Mission
In our learning community, we foster collaborative, caring, agentic, creative and internationally-minded learners through a supportive and innovative international education.
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.
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.
MISV is proud to be an IB World School!
Since completing the rigorous authorization process for the Primary Years Programme in November 2024, and for the Middle Years Programme in January 2025, MISV is now officially recognized as an IB World School by the International Baccalaureate Organization.
Our students work together to establish Essential Agreements that guide their choices while at school. All members of the MISV community are respected and valued for their differences.
Our students become confident communicators in both English and Swedish. Students' language development is supported through meaningful, inquiry-based learning.
At MISV, we are dedicated to supporting all of our students as they realize their full potential. Our students are motivated to continually reflect on their growth as learners and action-takers.
