Grow in Tandem

Tandem Friends School is where curious students become engaged, inspired, purposeful people.

A co-ed Quaker day school, Tandem Friends gives students in grades 5-12 the freedom - and the responsibility - to collaborate in their education; contribute to their community; explore their imaginations; and lead life with kindness, wisdom, creativity and integrity.

Why A Friends Education?
Rooted in Quaker Values yet inclusive of all beliefs, Tandem Friends helps students seek and express their inner light, while challenging them to take initiative in their own growth and development.
