COVID RESPONSE/IMPACT: As Northeast Ohio’s premier schools for children with learning *Fiscal 2020 differences, Julie Billiart Schools are setting the (7/1/2019 - 6/30/2020) pace for how distance learning and sociallydistanced learning are delivered, consumed and measured among kids who learn differently. We are currently offering an in-person format, as well as a virtual format for families who need it. Our COVID-19 Response Team meets daily to enact policies and communications that will keep our community safe and uphold our mission of educating and empowering kids with learning differences.

This is due, in large part, to generous individuals and community partners whose support lays the building blocks for our kids’ growth and resilience. Your gift immediately and directly supports the academic, social and emotional growth of our kids and sets a foundation for a lifetime of success. Share: If you’re not able to make a financial gift, we ask that you share our mission with your friends, family and network. Every child deserves the attention and support that Julie Billiart Schools provides.
