    As part of the Hans Christian Andersen project, the Centre for Children's Literature has carried out a course on Hans Christian Andersen in the autumn of 2003 in cooperation with three Danish schools.
The three schools are Taarbæk School and Virum School in the municipality of Lyngby-Taarbæk and Næsby School in the municipality of Odense.

Since August 2003 the school has participated in the municipality of Lyngby-Taarbæk's project "The Flexible School": a large-scale development project that aims at organizing classes more flexibly in accordance with concrete needs. This relates to themes, subjects and pupils.
