A School built for Khadakwasla families

 

is a well-known locality on the south-western edge of Pune, recognised across the city for the Khadakwasla dam and reservoir, and home to a distinctive mix of families including defence personnel connected to the National Defence Academy, local Marathi households, and a growing base of residents in newer residential developments that have come up along this scenic stretch. Defence families in Khadakwasla in particular value discipline, structure, and institutions with a proven track record – and they are often transferred, which means they need a school that manages academics consistently and communicates clearly even when parents are occupied or away. Walnut School’s structured daily programme, no-bag system, online exam options, and digital parent communication through the WalSH app make it a school that fits the practical and disciplined lifestyle of Khadakwasla families, including those from a defence background.

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.
