A Matrix server with a nice web based client, hosted on premise. People are then free to choose the mobile or desktop apps they want.

Matrix is missing the entire voice chat, video chat, and streaming aspect of Discord.

It has meetings and calls, but those are much less convenient to use compared to persistent voice channels, and the streaming had a lot of latency when I tried it last.

Didn't they change that? Check Elements Nightly

Nightlys are not things you should recommend for production use. Especially for (potentially) non tech savvy teachers and students.
