MIS library is a pedagogical environment closely connected to teaching and learning, supporting enquiry-based study and reading for enjoyment. The library is open Monday and Friday 08:30–15:00, and Tuesday to Thursday 08:30–16:00. Contact details for the MIS Librarian are Ilse Bergendorff-Evans (ilse.bergendorff-evans@malmo.se) and Pernilla Olsson (Pernilla.Olsson2@malmo.se). After School Care runs before school from 07:00 and after school from 14:00–17:30, with holidays 08:00–17:00; breakfast is served at 07:20 and a snack in the afternoon. After School Care is available for MIS EY to PYP6 and requires documentation of guardian's full-time work or study. Malmö School Restaurants provide hot meals every school day with a salad buffet and knäckebröd; around 70% of ingredients are organic, with vegetarian and pork-free options; dietary needs require a doctor's certificate and online application; changes should be discussed with restaurant staff.
After School Care provides activities based on units of inquiry, including play, drama, poetry, singing, reading and physical education.
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.
