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.
Hot meals are provided to all students every school day in the lunch hall, served with a salad buffet and knäckebröd. About 70% of ingredients are organic and around 90% of fruit and vegetables come from seasonal produce, with most dishes prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients. A vegetarian option and a pork-free option are available daily; complete dietary alternatives are provided for medical needs, requiring a doctor's certificate and an online application, and changes to dietary needs should be communicated to the restaurant.
The school is publicly funded and founded by the City of Malmö. Public funding enables free education for compulsory levels PYP1–MYP4, while preschool education (EY) carries a maximum fee based on household income.
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.
