Junior Classical League State Forum Results

April 28, 2018

It gives us great pleasure to announce the results of our JCL State Forum trip. The students did a fantastic job, representing The Geneva School well in their performance and participation in the academic, creative, and athletic contests that they entered both individually and as various teams. They competed against over 1,100 students from 50+ schools in the state of Florida; so a top-ten finish in any category is therefore remarkable. We had 42 students from grades 6 through 12 placing in multiple categories. Congratulations to our classics students and their teachers on their achievements!

Special thanks go to the ten parent and family chaperones, without whose work this trip would not have been such a great success!

Junior Classical Regional Forum

January 31, 2018

The Area of Classical Learning is pleased to announce the results of our recent participation in this year’s Regional Forum of the Junior Classical League (JCL). This past weekend, our chapter’s delegation of over 50 students from grades 6 through 12 competed against 350 of central Florida’s finest students from a dozen different schools in a host of contests that were academic, creative, dramatic, and physical in nature.

Our students individually took home 20 golds, 11 silvers, and 14 bronzes; but given the difficulty of the contests, their twenty-six 4^th and 5^th place finishes are also remarkable. In team competition (Certamen) they took 2^nd and 4^th place in Level I, 3^rd place in Advanced. Especially notable, were Kiri F., Jack G., Mercia S., Zachary V., and Ryleigh W., who placed in every category in which they competed.
