The „School after School” (ȘDȘ) program is a complementary program to the mandatory school curriculum, offering opportunities for formal and non-formal learning, for consolidating competences, remedial learning, and accelerated learning through educational, recreational, and leisure activities and is addressed both to primary and secondary education students.

The SDS program can take place before or after the mandatory school schedule (depending on the timetable of each level of study), at the school, if it has the necessary material and human resources to organize this program.

In primary education, the SDS program includes activities with specialized support (supervision and guidance in doing homework, recovery for students with cognitive difficulties, emotional, language disorders through remedial activities, counseling, speech therapy, activities to encourage independent reading, etc.), workshops / thematic activities and other recreational activities.

Each school, depending on the target group, creates modules of activity packages, by combining the activities mentioned above.

In secondary education, the SDS program includes the package of activities for accelerated learning and performance (preparation for participation in competitions and school olympiads, sports, artistic contests, on subjects, participation/organization of festivals, exhibitions, making school publications, participating in European cooperation activities), the support activities package (providing psycho-pedagogical assistance for compensating learning gaps, support activities for doing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling) and the life skills package (organizing personal development activities, activities aimed at developing active attitude and involvement of the student, healthy lifestyle, career education, etc.).

The program can be organized modularly, on time units established at the level of the educational institution according to the target group and the identified needs, by combining the activity packages oriented towards the development of transferable competences.

The program is carried out in groups of students (maximum 12 students), formed according to identified preferences and needs. The activities are designed, organized and supported by teaching staff from primary and secondary education, counselors, support teachers, librarians, speech therapists, laboratory technicians, educators, coaches, school mediators, volunteers from the school, from institutions and authorized partner organizations.
