First no, now yes.
Avenues has just reopened early admission for 2013 kindergarten. From their website:
Interview waitlist applications only. A limited number of spaces may be available.
Why not lock in some candidates? Avenues plans to be a large school. The more New Yorkers enrolled, the more money and credibility to open campuses in other countries and attract international students to study in New York. Being seen as a competitive school is key in attracting New Yorkers.
I can’t wait for Avenues to open this fall so we can hear how it is going for the new students.
