The “School after School” program (ȘDȘ) is a complementary program to the mandatory school curriculum, which offers opportunities for formal and non-formal learning, for consolidating competencies, remedial learning, and accelerated learning through educational, recreational, and leisure activities, and is addressed to both primary and secondary school 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 material and human resources necessary to organize this program.

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

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

In secondary education, the SDS program includes a package of activities for accelerated learning and performance (preparing for participation in competitions and school olympiads, sports, artistic contests, subject-based competitions, participation/organization of festivals, exhibitions, creation of school publications, participation in European cooperation activities), the support activity package (providing psycho-pedagogical assistance to recover learning gaps, support activities for homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling) and the life preparation package (organizing personal development activities, activities aimed at developing an active attitude and student involvement, healthy lifestyle, career education, etc.).

The program can be organized in modules, on time units established at the school level according to the target group and the identified needs, by combining activity packages oriented towards the development of transferable skills.

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