Through HelloSubs you can pick up assignments across KIPP Philadelphia's schools, from its elementary and middle academies to KIPP DuBois Collegiate Academy, the network's grades 9–12 high school at 5070 Parkside Avenue in West Philadelphia. KIPP's classrooms are built to be both joyful and academically excellent, with a college-and-career focus that runs from kindergarten through the KIPP Forward program that supports students into and through college and career.
