In 1979, on its 25th anniversary, it became the Lycée Français de Copenhague, and about a decade later it adopted the Prins Henrik name. From 1992 to 2023 the school was based at Frederiksberg Allé 22, with the kindergarten at HC Ørstedsvej 47 from 2015; in November 2023 it moved to Rolighedsvej 39, and the official inauguration occurred on February 7, 2024 in the presence of Queen Margrethe II.

Scholarships
French scholarships — French citizens: Students with French citizenship may apply for a schooling subsidy from the French state. The school does not manage these applications nor the calculations; decisions are made by the established scholarship authorities and Eunomia, and once approved, the school receives the list of recipients and the subsidy amount, which is deducted from monthly invoicing for the remaining months of the school year (10 months if the lists are transmitted by August 10; fewer months may apply for later lists). If the consulate notifies a change mid-year, the modification is applied to subsequent months. French scholarships are described in detail on the consulate's site.

Applications may be submitted twice a year, in April/May and September/October. The scholarship, if awarded, is deducted from tuition from the start of the following academic year.

Danish state scholarships — CP to Seconde: All students may apply for subsidies for tuition and daycare/SFO.

A second application window is possible for some cases (April/May or September/October). The school does not decide subsidy amounts; decisions are processed by Eunomia and communicated to the school.
