A School built for Kirkatwadi families

Kirkatwadi is a quiet residential locality situated between the Khadakwasla reservoir belt and the growing urban edge of south-west Pune, home to a mix of long-established local families, small landowners, and newer residents who have settled here as the area has developed over recent years. The character of Kirkatwadi is calm and community-oriented, with parents who tend to take a patient, long-term view of their child’s education and look for a school that builds real competence gradually rather than chasing short-term results. Families here have historically had limited access to high-quality CBSE schooling nearby, making the availability of a direct daily bus service to Walnut School Shivane a significant advantage. Walnut’s structured academic programme, daily physical activity, and consistent transport coverage make it a genuinely meaningful option for Kirkatwadi families who want more for their child than what is available in the immediate area.

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.
