You could use the web version of each of those apps. They may not have complete feature parity with the corresponding Windows desktop versions and the web versions may be a little more challenging to use, but you should be able to get by in most situations. The nice thing is that you can try it out right now on your Windows device to see what your experience would be like on Linux - just make sure you use the same/similar browser you would use on Linux.
The bigger issue with switching to Linux for school is likely going to be non-Microsoft software that one or some of your classes requires you to use that only supports Windows. If you are not able to get it to run with WINE or a Windows VM, you may be stuck running Windows for a few more years.
