Quid est AZJCL?
|
The Junior Classical League is a national organization of students sponsored by the American Classical League. Composed of local and state chapters throughout the nation, the JCL is the largest classical organization in the world. Its purposes are to promote a greater knowledge and appreciation of classical languages, cultures, literature, and traditions, and to interest other students in the study of the classics. The contact with the ideas and members of other chapters distinguishes JCL chapters from local, unaffiliated Latin clubs. The Arizona JCL is a state chapter of the national organization. The AZJCL provides a means for local JCL chapters in Arizona to work together, and it also acts as a link between the local chapter and the National JCL.
