The general studies curriculum at Merkaz Bnos allows each girl to advance beyond her grade level in specific subjects if she excels in those areas, which makes Merkaz a unique school environment. Students are not held back just because they do not excel in all areas, nor are they advance beyond their skills if they are not ready.

The academic curriculum consists of English, math, social studies, science, computer studies, art, music, speech, first aid, home economics, family living, and physical education.

Students at Merkaz Bnos also have access to extracurricular activities and co-curricular activities.
