Yes, we found a school like this and were all set to send DD - then we found out about major LD issues. Our district won't provide the needed special ed services there and this private - as wonderful as it is - isn't in a position to help with those needs. So they are out there - not easy to find and if like this one very expensive. If not for the LD issues we would have enrolled her in a heartbeat.
Just for example - one classroom had a full size teepee - authentically made for their study of native american culture, another had a chicken coop containing the now full grown chickens that had started as eggs in the classroom. Experiential learning, no drilling on facts, encouraging each child to explore their interests at their pace in their way. I don't know if you will find a public school that can do this, though. They all seem to be driven by numbers and test results.
