At the age of 12, he transferred to a grammar school in Newcastle Emlyn run by Unitarian minister John Davies.

He was the first Welsh Calvinistic Methodist to win the Dr. Williams Scholarship in 1849, after which he then went on to study at the University of Glasgow.

In 1852, John Harris Jones completed his graduation with The Lord Jeffreys Gold Medal, acknowledging his academic excellence in Greek.
