Ms. Lado has a gift and is a true gem. She creates engaging, personalized lessons tied to master studies and techniques — we saw exponential growth and confidence in our daughter as an artist.
— Karen Chao, parent of elementary student
My experience working with Ms. Lado as an educator was truly inspiring. She seamlessly integrates social justice and systemic issues into her curriculum, making sure that students understand many of the hurdles they have to face as they progress in the world.

Ileana Lado is the kind of educator who leaves an indelible mark on everyone she meets… a guide, a mentor, and a role model for every scholar who walked through her classroom door.
