Organizations Filed Purposes: ROOTED IN QUAKER VALUES, TANDEM FRIENDS SCHOOL OF CHARLOTTESVILLE PREPARES YOUNG PEOPLE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION AND FULFILLING LIVES OF INTEGRITY, CREATIVE EXPRESSION, AND SERVICE.

INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES - IN SUPPORT OF ITS MISSION, THE SCHOOL DELIVERED A 9-MONTH, TWO-SEMESTER COMPREHENSIVE COLLEGE-PREPARATORY EDUCATION DURING THE AUGUST - JUNE SCHOOL YEAR, FOR 223 STUDENTS IN GRADES 5-12, AS WELL AS A CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAM IN REQUIRED COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND A DEDICATED COLLEGE COUNSELING SERVICE. WE GRADUATED 20 STUDENTS, ALL OF WHOM WERE ADMITTED TO FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES. EXPENSES FOR THESE SERVICES INCLUDED SALARIES OF TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATION, AND STAFF, AS WELL AS OPERATING EXPENSES SPECIFICALLY NEEDED TO DELIVER AND IMPROVE THESE SERVICES BOTH ON OUR CAMPUS AND IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY

AUXILIARY SERVICES - TO SUPPLEMENT THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM, THE SCHOOL PROVIDED A RANGE OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, WHICH INCLUDED A LEARNING RESOURCES CENTER STAFFED BY TANDEM FRIENDS TUTORS TO PROVIDE ON-CAMPUS ACADEMIC SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS. APPROXIMATELY, ONE-THIRD OF ENROLLED STUDENTS AVAILED THEMSELVES TO SOME DEGREE IN THIS PROGRAM. TANDEM ALSO OFFERS VARSITY AND JUNIOR VARSITY SPORTS FOR GIRLS AND BOYS IN THREE SEASONS, AND A DRAMA PROGRAM THAT PRODUCED SIX PLAYS AND MUSICALS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. EXPENSES FOR THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDED SALARIES OF ADMINISTRATORS, COACHES, AND ANCILLARY SUPPORT PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS MATERIAL OPERATING EXPENSES REQUIRED TO FIELD TEAMS, TUTOR STUDENTS, AND TO PRODUCE THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES.

SUMMER PROGRAM - IN THE SUMMER OF 2019, THE SCHOOL HOSTED A SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM FOR APPROXIMATELY 279 STUDENTS, AGES 6-13, BOTH FROM TANDEM FRIENDS SCHOOL OF CHARLOTTESVILLE AND FROM OUTSIDE THE TANDEM FRIENDS COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM OFFERED CLASSES IN ARTS, CRAFTS, MUSIC, ATHLETICS, AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. A VARIETY OF FULL-DAY HANDS-ON COURSES WERE DELIVERED IN THREE TWO-WEEK SESSIONS. THE CAMP IS ENTIRELY ADMINISTERED BY TANDEM, WHICH EMPLOYS THE CAMP DIRECTOR AND CAMP COUNSELORS. IN ADDITION TO PUTTING THE BEAUTIFUL TANDEM FRIENDS CAMPUS TO USE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THE CAMP ALSO SERVES AS A VALUABLE MARKETING TOOL TO ATTRACT POTENTIAL NEW ADMISSIONS AND REINFORCES TANDEM FRIENDS' IMAGE AS SCHOOL THAT WELCOMES AND NURTURES CREATIVITY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. THE SCHOOL DID NOT HOST SUMMER CAMP DURING THE SUMMER OF 2020.
