Are the children of Asian immigrants generally fluent in English?

depends on if they were born here, or what age they came over.
If they come before about age 5-6, they are generally as fluent as native speakers of English.

Yea, it's amazing how fast kids can pick up english.  After 1.5 years here, my neighbor's kids speak better english than their parents (they are in montessori)!

One con about Montessori schools... lower chance of your kids meeting their BFFs there since they come from all over.

Once my kids got into public schools, they were able to build more stable friendships with kids from the hood.

I think this gets undervalued a lot. For any private school in general, you end up with peers that are spread out geographically.
You don't necessarily have a public school option (neighborhood hood) to send them to though.  So I think regardless of whether it is a montessori or the local tutor time down the street, that challenge will exist (geography).
