Mälardalen International School in Västerås is an independent primary and middle school.

All four schools are run in close collaboration with the business community. MISV was started in January 2022 in close collaboration with Northvolt and Hitachi Energy. Our goal is to become an authorized IB World School in 2023 teaching according to the Primary Years Program (PYP) and the Middle Years Program (MYP). At present we have 37 students and are growing fast. During next school year we will reach about 120 students PYP + MYP. We also plan to start the EYP during 2023.
