What is NJCL?

The National Junior Classical League is an organization of middle school and high school students sponsored by the American Classical League. It is composed of local and state chapters and is the largest Classical organization in the world today. Its purpose is to encourage an interest in and an appreciation of the language, literature, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome and to impart an understanding of the debt of our own culture to that of Classical antiquity.

NJCL Philosophy

We believe that through the National Junior Classical League:

We will gain an active appreciation and understanding of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome, thereby better enabling us as individuals to interpret and appraise our world today.
We have a sound structure which provides a sound basis for expansion of our horizons and perspectives, intellectually, socially, and esthetically.
We have a viable organization which can effectively create in others a sense of awareness, interest, and appreciation as far as the value of the Classics is concerned.
