Primary Years Programme

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a curriculum framework designed for students aged 3 to 12. At MISV we offer the PYP for students aged 5-11. The programme focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It is defined by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subject areas, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry-based learning.

Mälardalen International School (MISV) is in the process of becoming a candidate school within the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) to deliver the Primary Years Programme since 2021. IB schools share a common philosophy and a commitment to a high quality education.
