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) was authorized to offer the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate in November 2024! This recognition marks a significant milestone for our school, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality, internationally recognized education.

Achieving this certification is the result of dedicated efforts by our educators, staff, and community. It represents our shared vision of empowering students to grow and succeed in a supportive, engaging environment. We are proud to bring the benefits of the IB PYP to our students.
