The Varia Team
We are a close-knit team of interesting characters. Among us are cat lovers and eager aquarists, sugar fanatics and healthy life-style practitioners, quiet evening with a book enthusiasts and tireless adventure seekers, talented choir singers and creative gardeners…

Let us introduce ourselves.
We are the founders and proud owners of Varia. We are also close friends and neighbours. Together, we have created a unique team and we feel great in each other’s company. We are outgoing, friendly, and full of new ideas. We love spending time and working with people. They inspire us to action.
Before Varia, there was time for studying, moving to Krakow, traveling… There were plans and dreams. From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to create a place where we would be able to pursue our passions, share our knowledge, and bring our best ideas to life.
That is how Varia was born.
Here at Varia, we have a great team of people that will help you bury the body and are as thick as thieves. We have a place where our students (cared for by our expert teachers) can indulge in learning Polish language, meet fascinating people and Polish culture - chill and for real.
