Jesus and Mary Convent School (JMCS) is a Catholic minority institution administered by the Religious Congregation of the Sisters of Jesus and Mary. Established in 1956, the school stands on a seven-acre campus in Sector-9, Rohini, Delhi, adjacent to St. Xavier’s Parish. From the outset it has served girls of all communities but, preserving its minority character, admits no more than 25 % non-Catholics into the kindergarten section; subsequent upward admissions are merit- and vacancy-based. The quiet tree-lined grounds house a cruciform main building whose simple red-brick façade is animated by stained-glass rose windows. Beyond lie lawns, a multi-purpose sports ground, an Olympic-size skating rink, LEED-certified indoor arena and a chapel whose weekly services are open to families of every faith.

Affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi (Affiliation No. 2730044; School Code 70145, UDISE 07140100808) Jesus and Mary prepares pupils for the All-India Secondary (Class X) and Senior Secondary (Classes XI–XII) examinations in three academic streams—Science, Commerce and Humanities. An active Cambridge Assessment International Wing prepares selected students for IGCSE and AS/A Level examinations. The curriculum is enriched by the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm—context, experience, reflection, action, evaluation—filtering every discipline through ethical inquiry and social commitment.

Faculty strength stands at 117, of whom twenty-two hold Ph.D. degrees; every teacher is computer-literate and an average of 70 hours a year is spent in in-service programmes conducted by CIET, NCERT, Intel Teach and the CBSE. Academic facilities include twenty-one ICT-enabled laboratories, four each for Physics, Chemistry and Biology, two Mathematics labs, a tinkering-hub under Atal Innovation Mission and the Centre for Languages & Robotics. From Class VI, learners pursue one Third Language selected from Sanskrit, French, German, Spanish or Korean; from Class IX they opt between Artificial Intelligence and Entrepreneurship as additional vocational skill subjects.

Co-curricular life revolves round houses—Regina, Bernadette, Teresa and Claudine—named after Xavierian heroines. Inter-house competitions cover debating, dramatics, western & Indian music, capoeira, Kathak, photography, Vedic mathematics and social-enterprise projects. Sports are compulsory and coached professionally in basketball, football, badminton, Kho-Kho and archery; the school fields teams at the zonal and national CBSE clusters and has produced three international skaters in the past five years. The 160-seat O’Mahony auditorium hosts the annual Kaleidoscope Week, the Inter-school Model United Nations Sankalp and the Xavierian Public Speaking Trophy.

Guidance and counselling are integral: qualified counsellors match each learner’s aptitude with university and career options; diversity scholarships and the Nav Nirman Special Scholarship for Economically Weaker Catholics ensure inclusivity. Over the past decade an average of 92 % students have entered premier universities worldwide on the basis of Board merit plus SAT/CLAT/NEET rankings. The fostering of ‘women of conscience and competence’ is measured by a final profile card—cognitive ability, social consciousness, spiritual depth and emotional quotient—replacing a single numerical grade as the true passport from the Hill-side portals of Jesus and Mary.
