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 the consolidation of competences, remedial learning and acceleration of learning 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 timetable of each level of study), at school, in the situation where it has the necessary material and human resources for organizing this program.

In primary education, the SDS program includes activities with specialized support (supervision and guidance in completing homework, recovery 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 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 activity package for learning acceleration and performance (preparation for participation in school competitions and olympiads, sports, artistic, subject competitions, participation/organization of festivals, exhibitions, realization of school publications, participation in European cooperation activities), the support activities package (providing psycho-pedagogical assistance for bridging learning gaps, support activities for completing homework, remedial activities, psychological counseling) and the life skills preparation package (organization of personal development activities, activities aimed at developing an active attitude and student involvement, healthy lifestyle, career education, etc.).

The program can be organized modularly, on time units set at school level according to the target group and identified needs, by combining 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 options and needs. Activities are designed, organized and supported by teaching staff from primary and secondary education, counselors, support teachers, librarians, speech therapists, lab staff, pedagogues, coaches, school mediators, volunteers from the school, from institutions and authorized partner organizations.
