Tara: Montalvo TWI program is the best that I have seen or reviewed. Dr. Michelle Dean is a wonderful assett to the students and her faculty. My son has been attending this school since kindergarden and he is now starting 5th grade. He reads 96 WPM in Spanish and 145 in English. I owe this to Montalvo and the dedicated teachers an staff. Thank you Montalvo
