Julie Billiart Schools - Akron
Our Mission
The mission of Julie Billiart Schools is to nurture and empower students with special learning needs. As Catholic K-8 schools rooted in the educational principles of the Sisters of Notre Dame, we welcome diverse faith traditions.
We do this by:

- Giving our students the necessary tools to advocate for themselves
- Hiring and developing a team of highly qualified administrators, BCBAs, intervention specialists, and therapists to guide our curriculum
- Engaging all students in a challenging and comprehensive full-day curriculum while honoring and exploring their individual learning needs
- Integrating speech, occupational, art, and music therapies into our educational program
- Providing intentional social experiences that build lasting relationships and social skills
- Extending support and resources to our families including Aftercare and Beyond Camp
- Striving to make a JB education accessible to families of all socioeconomic backgrounds through scholarships and tuition support
