St. Julia Billiart is a Catholic learning community where Christ is our master teacher; where student success and well-being are at the heart of all decisions made; and where students, teachers, parents, staff, and the church are in relationship with one another and have a vested interest in the articulation and pursuit of goals within the context of a shared vision and mission. We are a Catholic learning community where collaboration and respect for one another frame our interactions and where "faith-in-action" is our lived experience. These are the tents that we embrace at St. Julia Billiart and that give definition to all that we do in the name of our students.
Greensborough is in northeastern Markham, situated just north of Markham Village. It is an area of newer development that began with the completion of Donald Cousens Way in 2005. The community's major thoroughfare is Bur Oak Avenue, a 4-lane road which runs in a roughly east-west direction. The community has adopted a Smart Growth model which involves both low and medium density residential development along with low-density commercial and considerable park space scattered throughout. There are several notable forest lots and parks.
