Our Story

SubHub EDU was born out of a simple but powerful idea: schools deserve a better way to manage substitutes.

After 12 years in the classroom, teaching in both public and private schools, our founder transitioned into EdTech to help teachers and schools in new ways. But when the EdTech bubble burst, she found herself back in the classroom as a substitute teacher—this time at her son’s independent school.

It was there she saw firsthand how manual, outdated substitute management processes drain school administrators’ time and leave students without the right coverage. Too many schools were juggling spreadsheets, text chains, and last-minute scrambles to find coverage, all while sacrificing instructional time for students.

She knew there had to be a better way.

Using her deep EdTech experience, she partnered with a team of experienced and driven developers to create SubHubEdu in order to streamline substitute scheduling for independent and private schools. Our automated, intelligent matching system helps schools find the right substitute faster, reducing lost instructional time and freeing up administrators to focus on supporting teachers and students.

Today, SubHubEdu partners with schools across the country to modernize sub management, ensuring students have the continuity they deserve while schools regain valuable time.

If you believe your school’s time is too valuable to lose to outdated sub management systems, let’s talk.
