A School built for Kothrud families

Kothrud is one of Pune’s most densely populated and educationally aware residential areas, home to a large Marathi-speaking professional community of doctors, engineers, teachers and government employees who have lived in this part of the city for generations. The locality is known for its strong emphasis on academic achievement alongside cultural and moral values and parents here are typically well-informed, selective decision-makers who evaluate schools carefully rather than choosing based on proximity alone. Families in Kothrud do not just look for a school that produces results. They look for one with a clear educational philosophy, transparent communication and a structured daily programme that genuinely develops the child. Walnut School’s research-backed approach to teaching, no-bag system, subject-wise classrooms and 25-year track record make it the kind of school that earns the trust of Kothrud families who take their child’s education seriously.

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.

My family lives in Kothrud. Which Walnut campus would my child attend?

Kothrud has multiple lanes and sub-areas. How does the bus know where to pick up my child?

What is the travel time from Kothrud to the Shivane campus?

Travel time varies based on your exact address in Kothrud and the number of stops the bus covers before the campus. The admissions team gives you an accurate estimate for your specific pick-up point once your address is confirmed.

Can we use our own vehicle to drop our child to the Shivane campus instead of the bus?

That decision is entirely up to you. Many Kothrud families prefer to drop off and pick up their child directly at the Shivane campus and that is perfectly fine. Transport is optional, not compulsory.
