About Us
The Zawarka Club is a space for bilingual children whose second language is Russian. It is a place where our children can learn languages, develop their skills, and maintain communication with peers.
We have been working since 2016, and more than 400 families from a wide variety of backgrounds have participated in our club's programs. They were from the countries of the former CIS, representatives of various professions.
Our club brings together everyone - those who are in Warsaw temporarily or permanently. Here parents and children find a comfortable, friendly environment for education.
A child who finds himself or herself in a new, unfamiliar language environment feels different from the others. It is important to support him or her, to show the possibilities and prospects of learning a new language in a safe environment of peers from the native community.
It is important to help the child accept his/her multiculturalism, and to build communication with peers from a position of equality.
Our approach
Being fluent in several languages is always a plus: for future career, intellectual development and outlook. We try to give our students maximum opportunities for self-realization.
Children who have grown up in a multilingual environment learn other foreign languages more easily in the future and are more open to any new knowledge and experience.
Learning several languages stimulates the development of thinking in children. And thanks to constant lessons they make fewer mistakes in speech, do not get confused with words and sentence structures.
The brain of a bilingual child, with proper training, switches between languages more quickly and easily. That is why it is important to support education.
How to help us
The "Zawarka" club strongly protests the military actions in Ukraine and expresses support to all those who have been forced to leave their homes.
Join us in helping children and families adapt to Polish society while maintaining their language and cultural identity.
We stand for peace!

Feedback from parents
A good place for children, conveniently located in the center, close to the subway. My daughters have been going to Zavarka on Saturdays for 3 years, they're all very satisfied. At home we speak Polish, and in "Zavarka" they have an opportunity not only to study but also to communicate and play with their peers in Russian.

Wonderful club, wonderful people! My older son went to summer camp, and the younger son studied with Anastasia, both are very happy! Now the older one is looking forward to the classes.

Our favorite place to meet on Saturdays and beyond! At Zavarka, lessons are play-based, with a welcoming, attentive atmosphere. Despite the varying speeds at which children do their assignments, the teachers provide a form of teaching that the children are not bored, do not worry, and the class is interesting and dynamic. We are very satisfied!
