You might want to look at Concord Academy and Milton Academy. Both are schools that have very strong writing curricula and, while not as "non-traditional" as Putney, definitely make room for kids who are outside the mainstream in terms of their interests.

And here's a question to ask for a quick analysis of how quirky the student body is at any one school: does it have an Ultimate Frisbee team or club (even if your daughter isn't interested in the game)? If it does, then it is likely that the school has a pretty decent population of kids with "outside the box" interests, at least to the extent that it is worth a closer look for things like structure, expectations, school personality, etc.
