Lycée Français Prins Henrik (LFPH) is a French school in Frederiksberg for children from 2 years 10 months to 18 years. It was founded in 1954 as a small embassy primary school; in 1963 a committee of French and Danish parents was formed, and later the school became an independent private school under Danish law. The first 6ème (first collège year) class opened in 1969, the first students took the baccalauréat in 1973, and in 1989 the school took the name of Prince Consort Henrik. Since November 2023 the lycée has been in a new building on Rolighedsvej. The school belongs to the network of French schools abroad with conventionné status and teaches the French Ministry of National Education curriculum from preschool to the final year; the language of instruction is French, Danish is taught from preschool and English from primary. About 800 students of some 40 nationalities attend. Besides the brevet and baccalauréat, the school prepares for the Danish exam in Danish and for the French-Danish double DFB qualification. Princess Marie has been the lycée's patron since 2024.

Admissions The lycée admits French children living in Denmark, children from other French schools abroad, local children whose families choose a French school, and children of other nationalities. For a non-French-speaking child the family must commit to supporting French learning. Preschool takes children from 2 years 10 months (if they turn 3 after 31 December) or directly into PS if they turn 3 before 31 December and are out of nappies. From CP children from other systems take an entrance test to check they can learn in French. Applications go through the Skolengo platform with a 750 DKK fee; if places are short the child is placed on a waiting list; after an offer families have 10 days to pay the fees. Families moving to Denmark must provide the child's CPR number by 2 September, otherwise students in CP to 2nde pay the unsubsidised rate for the whole year.

AEFEAgency for French Education Abroad
It runs the network of French schools worldwide, while the accreditation itself, the homologation, is granted by the French education ministry and inspected by French state inspectors. A leaver from a homologated school moves into a school in France without an entrance examination. Homologation is granted stage by stage, so it sometimes covers only part of the year groups.
What the badge means for this school. The school has been through this organisation's accreditation. It was judged as a whole: governance, safeguarding, staff, premises, teaching. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

The state programme of France. A school is homologated by the French ministry of education, and a leaver may move into a school in France without entrance tests. Homologation is granted stage by stage, so it sometimes covers only part of the year groups.
What this means for this school. Which year groups of this school are covered by homologation - only the primary ones, or all the way to the final year - is not stated here. The difference matters: it decides whether the school takes a child through to the French baccalaureate or hands them on to another school halfway.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
