Enrollment
Enrollment procedures and financial support
As part of the AEFE (Agence de l’Enseignement Français à l’étranger), Prins Henrik School’s main objectives are:
- To offer instruction to French children residing in Denmark, as well as children coming from other schools within the AEFE-network.
- To offer instruction to Danish children whose families have made a conscious decision to send their children to a school within the French network, such as Prins Henrik School.
- To offer instruction to children with a nationality other than French and Danish.
Sending a child who is not a French native speaker to a French school is a decision that will require a collective effort from the whole family, and parents need to be prepared to actively engage in their child’s schooling and support their learning of the French language.
Children who are new to the French school system must pass a French level test.
Admission criteria for maternelle
Terms and conditions for enrolling your child in maternelle: the child must turn three by December 31st of the same year they are enrolled. They also need to be toilet-trained (no longer needing diapers).
Admission criteria for élémentaire, collège, and lycée
Students coming from other school systems must take a French level test. This enables the school to assess their French language abilities and find a class suitable to their level.
The registration form (forms can be downloaded from the school’s homepage/ Registration) needs to be completed and the required documents attached. As soon as your application is processed, you will receive an email. A registration fee must be paid via PayPal (see link under enrollment procedure) before your application can be processed. If an application is successful, then enrollment is confirmed as soon as the enrollment fee is paid (the deadline is ten days in order to confirm a child’s spot). By enrolling a child at LFPH, parents acknowledge the payment terms and conditions.
Payment terms and conditions 2024-2025
Payment terms and conditions 2023-2024
Families with newly enrolled children are invited to a meeting at the school. This is held every year in August, shortly before the start of the school year.
Maternelle – families residing in Denmark
Once you have enrolled your child in maternelle at Prins Henrik School, it is very important to officially withdraw your child from their previous institution.
Please contact the office assigning daycare in the municipality concerned. As the withdrawal procedure can vary from one municipality to the next, please follow the guidelines relevant to your own municipality, before the child starts maternelle.
If you don’t register the withdrawal from the previous institution in time, Prins Henrik School will not be allocated any municipal subsidies for the child until the withdrawal notice period from the other institution has passed.
Families Newly Arrived to Denmark
Anyone who lives in Denmark needs a CPR number. It is one of the first things newcomers must apply for.
Read more under “Moving to Denmark.”
As soon as your child is allotted a CPR number, please inform the school’s secretary in order to complete their enrollment (inscriptions@lfph.dk)
If the CPR number is not received by September 5th (at the latest), the school won’t be able to apply for a subsidy for your child. In that case, students from first grade to seconde will be billed the full amount (no subsidy deduction) for the rest of the school year.
Diplomat families need to register their administrative CPR number at the school, along with the mother’s date of birth at: inscriptions@lfph.dk, before September 5th.
Important!
Please report any changes of address or contact details via our online personal information form.

If a student terminates their enrollment in the middle of the school year, the student must notify the school by submitting the correct form on our website (Menu item: Enrollment, sub-item: Cancellations) one month in advance of departure counting from the first day of the month after the withdrawal notice (the current month plus one month ahead). School fees must be covered throughout the withdrawal period, regardless whether the child is present or not.
If a student terminates their enrollment at the end of the school year, the student must notify the school by submitting a withdrawal form on our website (menu item: Enrollment, sub-item: Cancellations), by May 31st of the current school year at the latest, out of consideration for the school’s daily operations. If the form is received after the deadline, the family will be sent an invoice for the school fees for the first month of the following school year at the rate applicable to the student’s next grade level. Official documents required in connection with a student’s departure, along with the deposit, are issued after payment of all amounts owed.

Parents must notify the school about the decision via the form on our website in order for the decision to be valid (menu item: Enrollment, sub-item: Cancellations).
Students who are French nationals can apply for financial support from the French State. If this applies to you, please see the consulate website for more information.
The school has no direct involvement with requests for French subsidies. The consulate handles the allocation and calculation of subsidies. They send the school a list of applicants who have been approved for a subsidy, along with the amounts allocated to individual students. The amount is divided over the school year and each individual’s tuition reduced according to the list received from the Consulate (divided by ten months for those listed by August 10th, subsequent lists divided by the remaining number of months).
If the school receives notice of any changes from the consulate over the school year, these amounts will be accounted for by the school’s billing system.
Students who are not French nationals can apply for the school’s subsidy (Bourse LFPH).
If parents who applied in April / May are granted a school subsidy, it will come into effect the following school year, starting from September, and will be accounted for in the August invoice.
Those families who don’t manage to apply by the April / May deadline (newly arrived families or those impacted by major life shifts between April / May and September) are allowed to apply in September / October. All subsidies granted thereafter will be divided by the remaining months of the school year and deducted, from the time the school has notified the family.
For more information about the subsidy, please see: Information
Download the application 2024-2025 here.
NB! – Completed applications (including all documents) for the School Year 2024-25 must be handed in to the school’s accounting office, or scanned and sent to intendance@lfph.dk by May 8th 2024.
If you have any questions, please write to: intendance@lfph.dk
Financial Support from the Danish State (Fripladstilskud)
SUBSIDIES FOR STUDENTS FROM FIRST GRADE / CP TO SECONDE
Any student in first grade to seconde can apply for a subsidy to help cover part of their school fees and after-school programs (SFO). The subsidy takes into account the family’s size, along with the household income. Please note that subsidies usually aren’t allocated to households with an income of more than 367,558 DKK per year. Subsidies are calculated and allocated once a year.
IMPORTANT: The application must be hand-delivered to the accounting office before September 1st 2024. Please download the application form here.
Applications received by the due date are forwarded to Eunomia (the Secretariat of Allocation’s digital processing system). Around December the school receives notification of which students will receive a subsidy. The allocation process and all calculations are handled entirely by Eunomia.
The allocated amounts are divided into equal sums and deducted from the school fees for the remaining months of the school year.
It is crucial that the documents are completed and signed by all parties involved.
If a student receives a subsidy from the Danish state, it is important to know that the amount follows the student in question. Meaning that the amount is deducted the tuition fee regardless who is applying for the grant and who is paying the invoice from the school.
Financial Support from the Danish state for students in 1ère / 2.g and Terminale / 3.g
STUDENTS UNDER 18
NB! Subsidies follow the calendar year and not the school year calendar.
Students in 1ère and Terminale who attend DFB can apply for financial support available from Fripladskassen (the Secretariat of Allocation). The application must be completed and handed in, along with information about the primary and secondary earner’s income and a copy of their latest tax return.
The Spring 2024 application form is available here.
Application deadline: April 2nd.
IMPORTANT: Please hand in the completed application (including tax documents) to the accounting office or scan and send it to: comptabilite@lfph.dk
The school applies for a subsidy from Fripladskassen based on the number of students enrolled as of January 1st. Once Fripladskassen has finished its calculations, the money is sent to the school in the spring, where the funds are then distributed to the eligible students.
The amounts allocated are divided into equal sums corresponding to the number of months remaining in the calendar year and the months billed by the school. The monthly sums are then divided by the number of applicants. If a student is still attending the school in the fall of that same calendar year, then that student will be allocated funds until December 31st.
In general, the Danish state does not allocate grants for school fees to students who receive financial support from France.
Financial Support from the Danish state for students in 1ère / 2.g and Terminale / 3.g
STUDENTS OVER 18
Students who turn 18 before January 1st can apply for a subsidy from Fripladskassen. There is no application form, but the student has to send an email to: comptabilite@lfph.dk with a request for consideration.
Students can apply once a year and the email must reach the accounting office by April 2nd at the latest.
IMPORTANT: The allocation of the subsidy depends on whether a student already receives money from SU (the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme). Please specify the amount you receive from SU.
The school applies to the subsidy for funds based on the information received from SU, in addition to the student’s application. Once Fripladskassen has finished its calculations, they send the funds to the school in the spring, where the school then divides the money among the eligible applicants.
If a student is still attending the school in the fall of that same calendar year, then that student is allocated the monthly funds until the 31st of December.
In general, the Danish state does not allocate grants for school fees to students who receive financial support from France.
Students over 18 can apply for the SU grant here : www.su.dk
Financial support is calculated according to a distribution key and the information provided in the application sent to SU (the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme).
Grants or loans are not handled by the school accounting office. All enquires must be sent directly to SU.
A student who applies for the SU grant needs to notify the secretary in charge of enrollment at: inscription@lfph.dk, that he/she is going to apply for the grant. Before applying, the student needs a confirmation of their enrollment at the school.
Financial Support from the municipality (øko.friplads)
Subsidies for maternelle (PS, MS, and GS, if the child is born after October 1st).
NB! Children in GS born before October 1st will no longer receive subsidies from the municipality (such as financial support or sibling allowance). Unfortunately, the Ministry does not have similar subsidies that can be applied for.
If you would like to apply for a subsidy, you have to contact the municipality of the child’s registered address. The school has no direct involvement in the application process, therefore all questions should be directed to the municipality and not the school.
If the request for a subsidy is approved by the municipality, the school will receive the funds on a monthly basis, which will then be deducted from the tuition fee.
Please note that the subsidy does not cover the full tuition fee.
If the municipality registers the wrong amount by mistake, the municipality will contact the family directly regarding a reimbursement. Reimbursements are NOT processed by the school.
Sibling Allowance (søskendetilskud)
Sibling allowances are available for those who have more than one child in maternelle (PS, MS, and GS, if the child is born after October 1st), nursery, daycare / after-school programs (SFO) or private daycare.
Guidelines are available from your registered municipality. Questions should be directed to your municipality and not the school.
If you fulfill the municipality’s requirements for a sibling allowance, the school will receive the money on a monthly basis, which will then be deducted from the tuition fee.
Please note: the oldest child in a family usually receives the subsidy. If the oldest child is at another institution in the municipality, and the youngest child is with us, then the sibling allowance is deducted from the other institution’s fees, not ours.
If the municipality registers the wrong amount by mistake, the municipality will contact the family directly regarding a reimbursement. Reimbursements are NOT processed by the school.
The school’s Family Fund offers financial aid to families in need for field trips, school camps, and other school-related engagements.
Students in élémentaire – grades 1-5: Enquiries should be directed to the class teacher, who can provide the necessary paperwork. Once the forms have been completed, please hand them back to the same teacher.
Students in secondaire – grades 6 to 3.g: Requests for funding should be emailed to: fondsaideprojet@gmail.com. Please cc the teacher responsible for the trip.
The fund may request the following:
- A justification for the application, presenting the family’s financial situation.
- Tax documents from both parents.
- Documentation of a child’s subsidy, if they receive support. This is available upon request from the bookkeeper at: Comptabilite@lfph.dk
- Description of the school camp or field trip, including fees and possible expenses.
