Why It Matters?

Why It Matters?

Together, these subjects make Walnut students:

  • Smarter and more confident every day.
  • Strong in academics and life skills.
  • Future ready in ways no hobby class can match.

At Walnut, 45% of the timetable is dedicated to co-curricular activities, which are carefully designed to sharpen skills, build confidence, and support academics. We call this the Walnut Advantage.

Walnut School

Co-curriculars supporting language development:

Here is a quick overview of each. You can read more about each one by clicking on the links.

đź“–Reading

Right from Nursery all the way up to higher grades, students build fluency, intonation and confidence. Reading Theatre makes them strong, expressive readers.

đź“ťLanguage Arts

Students learn how to express thoughts in words. This skill helps them write better answers across all subjects — with less stress and no rote learning.

🎤 Speaking & Debates

From storytelling in Nursery to debates in higher classes, children learn to present ideas, speak clearly and hold their ground.

🧠 Concept Preview Lab

Logic, reasoning, and analytical skills developed through puzzles and activities. A strong base for exams — and real-world problem solving.

♟️ Strategic Thinking

Games and challenges that teach planning, decision-making, and adapting to change — all in a safe, fun space.

🔬 Science/Math Lab

Hands-on experiments and models help students test concepts for themselves. Parents see live demos during Electric Saturdays!

âž— Concept Preview Lab

Students learn to break down word problems and think logically before calculating. This builds comfort and speed in Mathematics.

đź’»Computational Thinking

Taught at Walnut long before NEP made it mandatory. Students learn coding logic, patterns, and algorithms — skills for the future.

🌍General Knowledge

Not capitals and currencies, but the real world kids see daily — logos, technology, money, transport, and much more.

🎭 Theatre & Dance

Children explore movement, rhythm and stage presence. Dance builds confidence, teamwork and joy in performance.

🎨 Arts

Children experiment with colours, textures, and creative techniques. Art classes nurture imagination, patience and free expression.

đź“šLibrary

A space for curiosity and discovery. Students read age-appropriate books that open new worlds and develop independent learning habits.

Just teaching core subjects is not enough. Core subject learning needs to be supported with a strong set of co-curricular activities. At Walnut, we have an intricately thought out co-curricular program, which integrates all of the things which “should” be taught in schools. Here are the subjects which we call the “Walnut Advantage”. These subjects get a weightage of 45%, whereas the core subjects get a weightage of 55%! This is only possible at Walnut School! Let’s look at what subjects we have under co-curricular activities.
