The St. Julie Billiart program is a helpful program for students with learning differences because it gives us the extra time and support that we need for the way we learn. The St. Julie teachers help with time management, and also provide special teaching techniques for things that we might have difficulty with in our regular classes. SJB is my favorite class of the day. I love my teacher, and I know that I can always count on her to help me!
