Who We Are
The Cambridge Rindge and Latin School Junior Classical League is dedicated to the promotion of ancient culture, including Greek and Roman, in the modern world. The purpose of the JCL is to encourage an interest in the study of Greek and Latin languages, literatures, and cultures and to impart an understanding of the influences of Classical antiquity on cultures of today.
As a member of the chapter, students will be eligible to participate in everything NJCL has to offer throughout the school year, including membership in the Honor Society, attendance at the state and national conventions held each year, eligibility to apply for a scholarship, and participation in various Certamen (quiz-bowl style competitions of Latin, Greek and classical civilizations) held throughout the year, just to name a few of the benefits.
This is an excellent opportunity for students to apply their interest in the Classics in fun and new ways and to be a part of a larger community of individuals who share their passion.​
