Two years ago, 16-year-old Ellie Ball could barely attend school; now she plans four A-levels and aims to study astrolaw, or space law. Her turnaround comes through LPS Hybrid, a British school blending remote and in-person classes. The model has drawn fresh attention following the UK's recent social media ban for under-16s.
LPS Hybrid's approach lets students split time between home and campus, reducing peer pressure and distraction. The school's structure aligns with growing concerns over digital wellbeing. Proponents argue hybrid learning offers a middle path between full isolation and traditional schooling.
