Employment

At Tandem Friends School, we believe that the finest education is achieved through an active partnership between faculty and students. We honor students by holding them to high standards. Teachers are dedicated to the intellectual, aesthetic, and moral growth of each student. In turn, our students are expected to enter into this partnership with a sense of responsibility and respect for their mentors and for the entire school community.

Our high expectations of students are possible because our faculty and staff meet a high standard of professional and personal excellence in their work. All teacher candidate finalists spend a full day on campus and teach sample classes. We actively foster our employees' continuing growth through professional development funding and an environment characterized by open communication and collaboration and a strong sense of community. The combination of motivated students, engaged families, active institutional support, and highly-qualified employees makes this a dynamic learning community.

Tandem Friends School is a co-educational, diverse, independent day school for grades 5-12. The school is located on a 31-acre campus in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was founded as The Tandem School in 1970 and became affiliated as a Quaker (Friends) school in 1995.
