About Tandem Friends School
Tandem Friends School offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum in an environment built on Quaker values. We are a coeducational day school serving students in grades 5 through 12. Our students receive an education in which intellectual, ethical, artistic, and athletic ideals are pursued. We foster capable students who: value a spiritual, egalitarian, kind, and creative community; thrive on independent, imaginative thought; are fully engaged in learning; and, seek the best from themselves and their community.

Academics
Learning is a cooperative venture at Tandem Friends; the intellectual curiosity of students is paired with an academically distinguished faculty.
Our strong college preparatory curriculum meets or exceeds admission requirements of all major institutions of higher learning. But there is a difference. Learning at Tandem Friends is a dynamic process of questioning and dialogue. Teachers invite a sense of authorship in their students. Classroom discussions encourage active thinking, listening, and articulation. Teachers constantly challenge students to realize their intellectual potential.

Student Life
Every school offers academic classes, dedicated teachers, classrooms and computers, sports fields, gyms and locker rooms. Tandem Friends is no different.
What sets us apart is the amazing sense of community that exists between faculty and students, faculty and parents, faculty coworkers, and the school and our local community. You can feel it the minute you set foot on campus - a sense of caring kindness and connections to one another.
