A School built for Katraj families

Katraj is one of south Pune’s most active and rapidly growing residential areas, home to a wide mix of families including first-generation urban professionals, established business owners, government employees, and working-class households who have settled along the Pune-Bangalore Highway corridor over the past two decades. The area has a strong aspirational character – parents in Katraj are deeply invested in their child’s future and tend to view education as the single most important investment they can make, often prioritising school quality over convenience of distance. Families here are also practical about outcomes – they want a school that builds their child’s ability to compete in board examinations and beyond, without creating stress or dependence on expensive private tuition. Walnut School’s advanced curriculum that runs a year ahead of grade level, combined with differential teaching from Std 6 to 10 and a no-tuition approach, makes it a school that delivers exactly the kind of measurable outcomes that Katraj families are looking for.

Documents and Procedure

Joining Walnut is a simple, guided process no confusion, no running around. Start with a visit to your nearest campus during office hours, where our admission counsellor will walk you through everything and conduct a short student interaction. Once that is done, submit the required documents, complete the application form and pay the applicable fees. That is it your child is enrolled. If you are not in Pune, we are happy to schedule an online counselling session so distance is never a barrier. For the complete step-by-step details, visit our admission procedure page.
