UNIQUELY TANDEM

There are many unique aspects to a Tandem Friends education - Freedom with Responsibility, one-on-one relationships with teachers, Quaker values and practices, and service learning, to name a few. These qualities are a part of everyday life for a Tandem Friends student. There are other equally important and 'uniquely Tandem' things every student will encounter, things they might not find at any other school, things that they will remember fondly when they look back on their years at Tandem. Some of these events happen daily, some occur once a year; all are life-altering affirmations of a school that stresses community, learning, listening, and sharing.

Some of these special 'uniquely Tandem' events include Advisories, Emphasis Week, Meeting for Worship, Morning Meeting, Open Meeting, Pancake Wednesdays and Taco Mondays, Speaker Series, Work Crew, and Special Days such as Orientation, Grandparents Day, Back to School Night, Blue Ridge Day, Spring Day and more. Each of these unique events and special days remains a beloved Tandem Friends tradition, days each student looks forward to and treasures.
