The Julie Billiart School Akron campus is supported by a rich history and community partnership. I joined the JB family in 2017 as an Intervention Specialist in Akron's launch year and am honored to be part of a mission-driven organization where students thrive. I've also had the privilege to serve as Assistant Principal and Director of Special Education in 2019 prior to becoming Principal in 2023.
JBA is a thriving, nurturing community for students from Akron and the surrounding area. From its earliest planning stages to today, this is a safe place where children who learn differently can flourish.
I have seen tremendous growth at JB Akron and am honored to continue JB’s unique approach to education. We’re excited for another year of growth, connection, and success and we are ready embrace our theme of “illuminate the world and let your light shine!”
Thank you,
Gabrielle Redovian, M.Ed.

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. 
JB Parent
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
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.
JB Parent
My kids love everything about JB and look forward to going to school every day and seeing their friends and teachers. JB is truly a one of a kind school enriching young lives everyday.

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.

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!
