[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Incorporating arts into the classroom (at the elementary level) would include, for example using visual arts-based projects to teach social studies, or making extensive use of drama in the language arts curriculum. Some progressive schools might do this to some extent -- for instance, Lowell's website seems to indicate that this might be true to some extent at that school.

I'm looking for a school where art isn't a once-a-week "special", but where art is a daily class, in addition to art being incorporated into other subjects.

OP, my kids are at the Springwell School.  I think you will find what you are looking for there.  Both of the Elementary school teachers for next year have a background in the Reggio Emilio approach.  Kids chose the ways that they develop their projects so some are very focussed in arts, some less so.  One of the things that I like about Springwell over WWS is that there is also a firm foundation in teaching the basic skills that kids need.[/quote]
