Welcome to Julie Billiart Schools, a family of K-8 coeducational, Catholic day schools for children with learning differences.
For almost 70 years, JB students have benefitted from individualized instruction, small class sizes, and onsite therapies. In 1954, the Sisters of Notre Dame opened the first Julie Billiart School to 14 students. As our reputation grew, so did the number of families who sought a setting like JB. In 2017, we expanded from our flagship campus in Lyndhurst to a new campus in Akron. In 2021, we expanded again to Westlake. Families now have three JB locations from which to choose.
All JB locations offer the same educational model and services that families have come to love and expect. All locations offer 1:6 student ratios for grades K-2 and 1:8 student ratios for grades 3-8. All locations offer an onsite Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and two certified intervention specialists per grade, as well as speech, occupational, music, and art therapies. Our growth is intentional but responsible to make sure that students receive the same level of care, excellence, and integrity at each campus.
While each campus has a unique personality, made up by the wonderful students, faculty, and staff at that school, all JB campuses share one identity, one mission, and one heart - our kids. Explore the campus nearest you, today.

Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.
JB Parent
They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!
JB Parent
I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.
Tammie Sommer
All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.

Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.
