For Schools
Connecting Classrooms to Global Education Opportunities
EdKompas collaborates with leading universities and partner organizations worldwide to support schools through three integrated initiatives: EdKompas Pathways Workshops, Swiss Campus Discovery, and the EdKompas Volunteering Academy (EVA). Together, these programs guide students in exploring international study pathways, experiencing global higher education firsthand, and developing the values, skills, and social awareness needed to engage responsibly with the world. All initiatives are tailored to IB, A-Level, American, French, and national curricula, ensuring relevance, clarity, and meaningful impact at every stage of the student journey.
​
With the largest portfolio of Swiss partner universities among Polish agencies and a strong global network beyond Switzerland, EdKompas offers schools unique insight into higher education systems worldwide — from admissions strategies and specialized programs to immersive campus and community experiences. Backed by over a decade of international admissions expertise, Joanna Witwicka, Founder and CEO of EdKompas, has delivered hundreds of workshops and school presentations since 2016, supporting thousands of students in applying successfully to universities across Europe and beyond, while empowering them to grow into confident, globally minded changemakers.

Our Programs
Counselors select the topics most relevant to their students, while EdKompas coordinates the visit, prepares tailored content, and delivers engaging, professional workshops. Schools may request a single session or a semester-long series, offered free of charge in English, French, or Polish as part of our commitment to equitable access. Bringing global admissions guidance into the classroom helps students make informed, confident decisions about studying abroad.
A premium 2–3-day educational tour across Switzerland that offers students an immersive introduction to Swiss higher education through campus visits, meetings with admissions officers, and academic presentations at top universities. Fully organized by EdKompas, the program seamlessly integrates logistics, cultural activities, and on-trip support, providing an exceptional complement to school university guidance programs and empowering students to make informed academic choices through firsthand experience.
The EdKompas Volunteering Academy (EVA) empowers students to become active global citizens through meaningful humanitarian projects developed with NGOs and local partners worldwide. Students may propose their own missions or choose EdKompas concept notes, with full end-to-end support from project design to on-site implementation and travel. Through intercultural collaboration and real-world impact, participants transform knowledge into action and create lasting change.
