About us
The Junior Classics League is a student-led organization that brings together the best middle and high school students around the world into an ecosystem of exposure and discussion of the classics of world literature. Our mission is to invest in the next generation by enabling more students to learn about the great books and thereby reflect more deeply about themselves and understand the world around them. By doing so, we hope to encourage critical and independent thinking and nurture effective leaders who would one day change the world for good!
“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
― Mortimer J. Adler, Author of How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading
“We believe in the power of the classics to shape the future to come."
— Christopher Wang, Co-Founder of the Junior Classics League
