- Interesting, but doesn’t this take a lot of time?
- How do they know where to go? Do they get lost?
- Do they get tired?
- How do new students manage in this system?
Let’s see!
Walnut students have a full, balanced and busy school day. Every day includes some part of each of these activities:
| Activity category | Subjects and activities |
|---|---|
| Core academics | English, maths, science, social studies, Marathi, Hindi |
| Skill development | Reading, speaking, mental maths, science lab |
| Strategic thinking | Computational thinking, strategic thinking, mental ability, general knowledge |
| Physical fitness | Daily sports |
| Creative exploration | Theatre, art, library, language arts |
All of these require specialised spaces, furniture, materials and equipment.
Since Walnut is a bagless school, students can’t bring these things from home — and they obviously can’t keep carrying them around either.
So, Walnut students have different classrooms for different subjects. Students don’t just sit in one classroom all day. They keep moving to specialized classrooms for each subject. That makes this busy, packed day possible.
How does that work?
- Students know which class they have next.
- Next class timetable is posted on the OUT door.
- Movement takes about 3–4 minutes between classes.
- Acts as a natural break between subjects.
