If the focused work and homework are overly repetitious and sapping your daughter's love of learning, and if the school is as accommodating as you suggest, you should have a frank discussion with the school director about your daughter's needs. How will this ideology change as your DD progresses through the school? Is it an ethos that students are expected to internalize?
How strong is the school's bargaining position in this situation-- wait list, life cycle phase of the business, appeal to its target market? This will determine how blunt you are, as well as how solid an alternative you'll need lined up as you go into negotiations.
At this stage, I would not rule out any options, particularly homeschooling.
