The Virginia Junior Classical League is a statewide organization that runs events for middle and high school Latin and Greek students. The VJCL convention is a 2-day, overnight trip to Richmond, VA held each year in November.

At the convention, students participate in a variety of competitions, including art and craft contests, costume contests, academic contests, and Latin or English dramatic performances. They can attend presentations on a variety of classical themes given by professors and there are demonstrations by a Roman legion reenactor group. The fun includes a dance, karaoke, a talent show, certamen trivia competitions, and other games.
