MIS began in 1996 as a UN project for the World Maritime University, opening a single English class at Dammfriskolan. It moved in 1997 to Söderkullaskolan and became Söderkulla International School, later relocating to Triangeln in 2013 and becoming Malmö International School. MIS earned IB authorization for the Primary Years Programme in 2011 and for the Middle Years Programme in 2016, and in 2018 fully adopted the IB curriculum, dropping the Swedish curriculum. The school is publicly funded by the City of Malmö and moved to a brand-new building in Hyllie in 2024.
Malmö International School is an international community where different cultures meet in unity, mutual respect and understanding, and it aims to prepare students for lifelong learning. The IB Learner Profile anchors the Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme, and MIS is an IB World School for ages 3–16. After school care is available, and a Student Welfare Team supports well-being with the school nurse, welfare counsellors, a school psychologist and learning support staff. The inauguration of the Hyllie campus in October 2024 was aligned with International Day to celebrate students' cultural heritage.
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.
