Activităţile extracurriculare nu constituie un segment al domeniului curriculumului, dar implică finalităţi menite să întregească dezvoltarea competenţelor promovate prin intermediul programelor educaţionale. Le atribuim funcţia complementară activităţilor didactice, realizate în cadrul orelor de contact direct. Educaţia depăşeşte limitele exigenţelor curriculare, rolul activităţilor extracurriculare devenind primordial în formarea personalităţii ce tinde spre cunoaştere, performanţă, rezultat, progres.
