About our school

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.

Our Vision
We empower the next generation to reach their full potential by developing the knowledge, skills, and democratic values necessary to navigate global challenges with courage and collaboration.​

Our Founders

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.

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.

Our promise

English - a world language

We educate for a better and more peaceful world.

An IB education at MISV aims to instill in all students the skills, knowledge, and attributes to become better learners and better individuals. Our priority is for our students to grow and develop into fulfilled people with the power to create the future in which they want to live.
