The “School after School” (ȘDȘ) program is a complementary program to the compulsory school curriculum, which offers opportunities for formal and non-formal learning, for strengthening skills, remedial learning and accelerating 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 compulsory school schedule (depending on the timetable for 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 doing homework, remediation for students with cognitive and emotional difficulties, 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, establishes modules of activity packages by combining the activities mentioned above.

In secondary education, the SDS program includes an activity package for learning acceleration and performance (preparing for participation in school competitions and Olympiads, sports, arts, subject contests, participation/organization of festivals, exhibitions, school publications, participation in European cooperation activities), a support activities package (providing psycho-pedagogical assistance for closing learning gaps, supportive activities for doing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling) and a preparation for life 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, over time periods set at the level of the educational institution, depending on the target group and the identified needs, by combining activity packages oriented towards the development of transferable skills.

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