Jesus and Mary Academy has a demanding academic environment. Although the work is challenging, students enjoy opportunities to work closely with teachers. The academic year starts in April and ends in March. The year is divided into three terms of about 3 months each.

The School endeavours to provide a broad and liberal education. Every class has a General Knowledge/Current Events lesson.

Students are encouraged to cultivate the habit of reading and the 'Resource Centre' comprising a spacious and well-stocked library with a reference section, an audio-visual room equipped with multimedia facilities, and a computer laboratory provide ample opportunities for students to benefit from having access to Information Technology and to gain hands-on training in computer operations.
