<br />
==History==<br />
Tandem School was founded in [[1970]] by educators [[John Howard]] and [[Duncan Alling]]. Their philosophy, which continues to capture the essence of a Tandem education, was based on the conviction that learning thrives in an environment where faculty and students enjoy close, trusting relationships, values and ideas are freely examined, and decision-making involves the whole school community. They envisioned an economically and racially diverse school dedicated to academic rigor in the context of a curriculum embracing the arts, environmental stewardship, and community service.<br />
<br />
In [[1995]], Tandem formally adopted the philosophy and practices of Quaker education and became Tandem Friends School, now serving up to 240 students in grades 5-12. The school’s mission statement best summarizes its goals:<br />
<br />
"Rooted in Quaker values, Tandem Friends School prepares young people for higher education and fulfilling lives of integrity, creative expression, and service." <br />
<br />
The school’s unofficial mottoes also capture the Tandem philosophy: “Freedom with Responsibility” and “Kindness and Wisdom”.<br />
<br />
Tandem moved to its current 30 acre campus in [[Albemarle County]]<ref name="gisweb">{{CountyAssessor|09100-00-00-002A0}} retrieved 10 July 2009</ref> in [[1972]] <ref name="tandemhistory">[http://www.tandemfs.org/page.cfm?p=348 Tandem History] Tandem Friends School, retrieved 10 July 2009.</ref>.<br />
<br />
Tandem is a member of the Greater Piedmont Athletic Conference (GPAC), fielding up to 18 teams with a no-cut sports policy. The Varsity Girls' Soccer team won the state championship for three years in a row, 2010-2012. A strong arts program features visual arts, music, and performing arts as well as an award-winning digital film program. The faculty student ratio is 1:7 with classroom sizes ranging from 12-18 students. Tandem is accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools, the Virginia Association of Independent Schools, and is affiliated with the Friends Council on Education<br />
<br />
[[Whitney Thompson]] became the head of school in July [[2017]]. {{fact}}<br />

In 1972, the school moved to "Hillcrest," a large home dating from the mid-19th century, located on 23 acres of land (now at 31 acres).<ref>https://www.tandemfs.org/about/history</ref><br />
<br />
The school is seeking to build a new pavilion. The Albemarle County Planning Commission recommended approval of a special use permit on [[February 18]], [[2020]]. <ref>{{cite-progress|title=Albemarle planners OK school pavilion, Sleep Number store|url=https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/albemarle-planners-ok-school-pavilion-sleep-number-store/article_b280dc26-7e41-5ea1-b374-c11675856e59.html|author=Allison Wrabel|pageno=A1|printdate=February 19, 2020|publishdate=February 19, 2020|accessdate=February 23, 2020}}</ref><br />
