About NJCSL
A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to making computer science education accessible for all students across New Jersey.
Our Mission
The New Jersey Computer Science League (NJCSL) was founded to bridge the gap in access to competitive computer science education. We offer ACSL Elementary Division for elementary schools and Classroom Division for middle schools, making participation accessible and free for all students.
We believe every student, regardless of their financial situation or school affiliation, deserves the opportunity to develop computational thinking skills and compete at a high level.
What is ACSL?
The American Computer Science League (ACSL) is a premier computer science competition that challenges students with problems in computer science topics including algorithms, data structures, and programming. NJCSL brings ACSL competitions to New Jersey students through our Elementary Division and Classroom Division programs.
