Science Fair

A tradition of excellence in science

The empirical evidence suggests that Dock's performance in Science Fair competitions—at the local, regional and state levels—is impressive.

Dock Mennonite Academy holds its annual Science Fair Competition in January. Students are selected to compete at the Montgomery County Science Research Competition (MCSRC) based on their performance at the Dock science fair.

Over the past 15 years, Dock students have been active participants at the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) annual science fair competition, the Montgomery County Science Research Competition (MCSRC), and the Delaware Valley Science Fair (DVSF). Below is a list of accomplishments.
