We have Duke Ellington in DC, and I'm aware of an academy program at Albert Einstein in montgomery county (not an audition program / there is a portfolio program for visual arts, however.) Any private school programs dedicated to the arts in this part of the country?

No.

Nothing quite on the level of Duke Ellington. I would say that Burke has a pretty impressive arts program, including music, visual arts, and theater.

I can't think of any that are completely dedicated, but Potomac School does have an Arts concentration program (VPAC) that freshman have to apply into. They can choose a visual or performing arts concentration. Again, not as comprehensive, but provides a deeper engagement for the student.

There are a few options in the Baltimore area: Baltimore School for the Arts is the private school option, Carver Center for the Arts & Technology (my alma mater) is a whole-school audition/portfolio-based magnet, and Patapsco High School & Center for the Arts also has an arts magnet within the school.
