A School built for Pune-Bangalore Highway families

The Pune-Bangalore Highway belt from Navle Bridge to Katraj Chowk is one of Pune’s busiest and most densely populated urban stretches, home to a large and diverse residential population including societies on both sides of the highway, standalone buildings, and older established localities sitting alongside newer developments. Families along this corridor tend to be mixed in background – from daily commuters and industrial workers to mid-level professionals and business families – and they share a common need for a school that fits seamlessly into a highway-adjacent lifestyle where mornings are busy and logistics need to be predictable. Parents here are also acutely aware that their children are growing up in a highly competitive environment and want a school that builds genuine skills alongside academic marks. Walnut School’s Route coverage of both sides of the highway, combined with its structured academic programme, daily sports and communication tools, gives highway belt families the quality and reliability they need without compromise.

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.
