Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Eligible applicants include parents studying or working within Higher Education in the region. Families moving to Malmö or the region due to employment or studies for a limited period may also apply. Families relocating who have attended an international school abroad for a major part of their child s education may apply. Knowledge of English is required for the age level of the curriculum.
2. Students are placed by age. EY covers ages 3-5. PYP covers ages 6-11, across several year levels. MYP covers ages 12-16. After MYP4, students apply to upper secondary school, with fluency in Swedish required for Swedish upper secondary institutions.
3. The school is funded by the City of Malmö. Education for compulsory levels PYP1 - MYP4 is provided free of charge. Preschool education (EY) has a maximum fee related to the household's total income. Living within Malmö municipality is recommended; if living outside, the other municipality must agree to pay charges to Malmö before admission is secured.
Malmö International School (MIS) is funded by the City of Malmö and offers the IB continuum for ages 3–16. MIS provides Early Years (EYP), Primary Years (PYP) and Middle Years (MYP). EYP is integrated in the PYP for 3–5 year-olds, with a four-hour day and a play-based, inquiry-led approach. The PYP covers ages 3–12 under six themes—Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, The Arts, and Personal, Social and Physical Education—and culminates in the PYP Exhibition. The MYP serves ages 12–16 with eight subject groups and criterion-related assessment. MIS began in 1996 as a UN project, later becoming Malmö International School; it earned IB authorization for PYP (2011) and MYP (2016) and fully adopted IB in 2018. In 2024 MIS moved to a new Hyllie building funded by Malmö. Facilities include a library, a Student Welfare Team, and meals with organic options. After School Care runs 07:00–17:30 and offers drama, poetry, singing, reading and physical education. Cultural and language clubs promote international mindedness and diversity.
