Have questions about the admissions process at Julie Billiart Schools?
If you don't see your question below, please call us at 216.716.3813 or email admissions@jbschool.org and let us make sure you get the information you need!
Is there a fee to apply?
No, there is currently no fee to apply to Julie Billiart Schools.
Is there an application deadline?
No. Julie Billiart Schools offers rolling admissions, which means we can accept a student at any point in the school year if space is available. Tuition is prorated to the time of enrollment. Note that some campuses have a waitlist for certain grades.
We encourage you to apply as soon as you’re ready so that we can begin to process your application. Applications are reviewed in the order in which they’re received.
Do Julie Billiart Schools offer 1:1 Support?
No. We offer individualized support, but we do not provide 1:1 aides or one-on-one staffing for students. Our program is designed for students who can learn and grow within a classroom setting, with the support of our intervention specialists, therapists and support staff.
What happens if space is not available at my child’s grade level?
If space is not available at your school of interest at the time of the admission decision, your child will be placed on a waitlist and notified when space becomes available. Because of our small class sizes, we encourage families to complete and return the admissions application as early as possible.
We also encourage families to explore potential openings at other JB campuses. Regardless of the location, families can expect the same exceptional education programs and services at all three schools.
Does my child need to be Catholic to attend JB?
No. Julie Billiart Schools welcome all faith traditions, however, students are expected to participate in religion class, weekly prayer services, and mass. These activities are a great exercise for our students to practice patience, listening intently, turn-taking and other social skills.
Does JB serve 2e and gifted children?
We do have a small population of twice exceptional (2e) children who need extra academic and social support. While we can differentiate and meet the needs of 2e, we do not offer a specific gifted program.
