Malmö International School offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP). Early Years Education (EY) is included in the PYP for ages 3–5. The PYP is designed for students aged 3–12, and the MYP for students aged 12–16. The MYP requires the study of at least two languages to support students in understanding their own culture and that of others. Knowledge of English is a requirement for admission corresponding to the age level of the curriculum.
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.
