Questions, answered.

It refers to the curriculum's design, not the venue. PEERS® School-Based is formatted so everyday school staff — teachers, counsellors, SLPs — can teach it as part of a school-context curriculum, but it can be delivered inside a school, in after-school or community programs, in private practice, or by trained parents reinforcing the skills at home.

The School-Based track is designed for educators and parents delivering PEERS® to adolescents (roughly ages 11–17) across educational, community and private-practice settings. It excludes the romantic relationships module and is formatted for non-clinical facilitators. The Young Adults track is clinical, delivered by psychologists in clinic settings for ages 18+, and includes romantic relationships content. SGH ran a Young Adults cohort in Singapore in Feb 2026; this is the first School-Based cohort in Asia Pacific.
