The ILC staff of 26 includes teachers, a full-time guidance counselor, a development team, two technology directors/instructors, administrative support staff, the director of Public Education and The ILC co-founder and director. All teachers and most of the staff hold bachelors degrees. Many are teacher certified, and some hold master’s and doctorate degrees. The staff is as diverse in life experiences and cultural backgrounds as are students with seven staff members being foreign born. Volunteers from Malden and Greater Boston work either in classrooms as teacher aides or in the One-on-One Tutoring Program for waitlisted applicants. A few also help in the office. Many volunteers are foreign-born and are current or former ILC students.
