  • Tandem On AP Honor Roll Again

    For the second consecutive year, Tandem Friends School has earned Gold recognition on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll for the 2024-2025 school year. Just 8% of qualifying Virginia schools earned this distinction. The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, increasing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing potential for long-term academic success.

    AP coursework is just one avenue through which Tandem students can engage with challenging coursework through Tandem’s college preparatory curriculum and build intellectual vitality. Tandem’s signature programs – including the two-year Interdisciplinary Program of English, History and Integrated Science and our Advanced Biology, Advanced Chemistry and Advanced Physics offerings (which carry weighted GPA credit like AP courses) – meet and often exceed entry requirements for the most selective colleges and universities.

    93% of the recently graduated Class of 2025 took at least one AP exam while at Tandem. Among exam takers, 86% of students earned a score of three or higher on at least one AP exam. In the Class of 2025, six students earned the AP Scholar designation, five were named AP Scholars with Honor, and five were named AP Scholars with Distinction, the highest recognition for College Board’s AP exam participants.
