The “School after School” Program (ȘDȘ) is a program complementary to the compulsory school curriculum, which offers formal and non-formal learning opportunities, for consolidating competencies, remedial learning, and learning acceleration through educational, recreational, and leisure activities, and is addressed to both primary and secondary education students.

The SDS program can take place before or after the compulsory school program (depending on the schedule 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 doing homework, recovery for students with cognitive or 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, constitutes 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 (preparation for participation in school competitions and olympiads, sports, artistic competitions, subject-based competitions, participation/organization of festivals, exhibitions, publishing school publications, participation in European cooperation activities), the support activity package (providing psycho-pedagogical assistance for overcoming learning gaps, support activities for doing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling) and the life skills 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 level of the educational institution depending on the target group and identified needs, by combining packages of activities oriented towards the development of transferable skills.

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