Hi, I've noticed that you've added Lucidchart in the list. We also have a similar product called Creately which you can use to draw flowcharts, mind maps, Venn diagrams and many other diagrams useful for educational institutes. We also have discounted pricing scheme for educational institutes. Do give us a try and consider adding us to the list.
