The "School after school" (SDS) program is a program complementary to the compulsory school curriculum, offering opportunities for formal and non-formal learning, for consolidating 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 of each level of study), at the school, if it has the material and human resources necessary for organizing this program.

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

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

In secondary education, the SDS program includes the activity package for accelerating learning and performance (preparation for participation in school competitions and olympiads, sports, art competitions, 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 for recovering learning gaps, support activities for doing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling), and the life preparation package (organizing personal development activities, activities aimed at developing an active attitude and student involvement, a healthy lifestyle, career education, etc.).

The program can be organized in modules, in time units set at the educational institution level according to the target group and identified needs, by combining activity packages oriented towards developing transferable skills.

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