Inspiring a life-long love of learning

The classroom experience at Dock values exploration and inquiry, and hands-on, experiential learning. We engage and foster students' natural curiosity about the world.

This type of engagement leads to a deeper understanding of course material, and a self-generated enthusiasm for learning that will last a lifetime.
