American Classical League

American Classical League

The American Classical League, founded in 1919, is an organization devoted to promoting the ancient Roman, Greek, and classical language and culture. Though most of its members are teachers of Latin, Greek, and Classics at all levels of education, the league is open to any person interested in helping preserve the ancient culture. It is also the parent organization of the National Junior and Senior Classical Leagues. The ACL has an annual convention and also sponsors the National Latin Examination to middle and high school level students.
