Summary/Abstract: In the pre-university education there are three points of interdisciplinary entry at the level of the authors of the plans, programs, school textbooks, at the level of the teaching staff within the teaching-learning-evaluation processes at the level of non-formal, extra-curricular activities. As interdisciplinary points, we can mention: the objectives and content of education; Organizing the teaching-learning process by establishing systematic correlations that provide pupils with an overview of acquired knowledge; the way to organize extracurricular activities that, in addition to allowing new content to be introduced, also contributes to the elimination of boundaries between disciplines. It can be considered that there is interdisciplinarity in the organization of the content of the educational process or in the conception and development of the teaching process when some of the following conditions are met: when common methodologies are identified and highlighted for a certain number of disciplines or all disciplines in a same year or cycle of study; when teachers of the same year or cycle of study work in a team, seeking to identify useful and convergent connections and gradually eliminating rigid boundaries between disciplines; when a systematic link is established between school and non-school, either through didactic activities or through extra- or inter-school activities; when there is a systematic transfer of knowledge, methods and practical skills between disciplines.
