Nutshell July 2025 | Walnut School
What does it take for a 12-year-old to defend a position on national tax policy? Or for a 4-year-old to stand on stage for a full minute without a script?
At Walnut, we believe these aren’t just extracurricular activities—they are the building blocks of confidence, critical thinking and character.
This July was packed with events designed to put these skills to the test. Inside this month’s newsletter:
The Debate: Why we’re asking Std 6 students to argue like economists.
The STEM Challenge: How our students handle the “unprepared” follow-up question.
Baby Walnut: The science behind why shlok recitation sharpens focus.
Sports Wins: Celebrating our athletes from the football field to the archery range.
