Students with mild to moderate autism, anxiety, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences find success at Julie Billiart Schools because we celebrate their potential, nurture their curiosity, and customize our teaching to their unique learning styles.
One of our first teachers, Sister Mary Francois of the Sisters of Notre Dame, famously said, “if I can’t teach your child to read, I will change the way I teach.” This attitude guides all of our certified intervention specialists and onsite therapists to this day.
Where other public and private schools might struggle to meet the diverse sensory and processing needs of children with learning differences, we understand, cater to, and specialize in individualized support that helps students become empowered learners and self-advocates.
All JB students, with a base of loving support and a curriculum of challenging academics, graduate from high school or are on track to do so. Many of our kids go on to college and become doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists, and authors. Others become community advocates, church or community volunteers, food service workers, mothers, and fathers.
More importantly, they become empowered individuals who have learned their inherent worth and practice love, acceptance, and belonging in their daily lives. Just as every child is different, so, too is every path to success. At JB, we recognize and celebrate the fact that success looks different for every one of our kids.
