Unlock the Classics

Empowering Maine’s youth to excel in Latin, history, and culture through ancient wisdom and modern connections.

About the Maine Junior Classical League

The Maine JCL is a statewide organization that promotes the study of Latin and Greek language and culture. We host conventions, organize community service events, and provide resources for teachers and students to engage with the classics. Maine JCL is a 501c3 organization and runs in part on the generosity of donors.
