Eligibility
Any elementary, middle school, or high school student who:
- is currently enrolled in a course in Latin or Greek; or
- has completed two units of study in Latin or Greek; or
- is currently enrolled in a course in classical humanities.
(Note: any school that has problems meeting the above requirements due to block scheduling should contact Ms. Gonzalez for further instructions)
Forming a Chapter
Any school that has five or more JCL members and has a qualified sponsor shall constitute a 'chapter' of the JCL.
Qualified Sponsors
Each chapter must have a sponsor who is a Latin teacher, humanities teacher or other adult approved by the State Chairs. This sponsor, who will be responsible for chapter activities, must be a member of the American Classical League (ACL) or must join ACL upon application to be a JCL chapter sponsor.
Chapter Officers
Each chapter may elect officers to conduct business, organize activities, etc.
Costs
Each student must pay membership dues of $2.00 for NJCL membership and $5.00 for TJCL membership. A student must be a member of both organizations. In addition, each chapter must pay a $10.00 NJCL registration fee with the initial application, unless this is your first year. All Tennessee Junior Classical League chapters must pay a $10.00 registration fee. Unless a sponsor is already a member of the American Classical League, ACL annual dues of $45.00 must be included with the application or must be mailed to the ACL office separately. If you are a brand new chapter or JCL sponsor, please read on!
New To JCL?
Any sponsor who has not previously been a member of JCL may waive the first year's ACL dues ($45.00). Also, brand new JCL chapters may waive the $10.00 NJCL and TJCL chapter registration fees - that means you can join JCL for just $5 per student!
