What is the JCL?
What is the JCL?
The Junior Classical League is an organization for middle and high school students, at first in the US, but now extending to other countries—studying the classics of Ancient Greece and Rome. Our 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.
As a division of the Tennessee Junior Classical League in Memphis, TN, we are open to homeschooled students in the Memphis area. If you are interested in joining, please email joseph.nardo.a5yhm@slmail.me. If you are not homeschooled or in our area, go to tjcl.org/chapters.html to see a list of chapters in our state.
Many wonderful activities are available when you're part of the NJCL!
