麻豆社 Application Process
  1. CREATE A CANDIDATE ACCOUNT. Click "Apply Now" on our website to set up your account in our enrollment system and gain access to the candidate portal where you can track your progress. 
  2. VISIT US. Join an Admissions Information Session for a campus tour, Q&A, and panel with current students, parents, and faculty members. Prospective students are welcome but not required! Can't make a scheduled session? Email us to set up a tour.
  3. APPLY. Complete and submit your application and $50 application fee directly through the candidate portal.
  4. REQUEST SCHOOL RECORDS. We require academic records from the past 3 years. Submit a Records Release Form to your child’s schools. Schools will send official records directly to us.
    For candidates from Charlottesville City schools, please email your form to admissions@tandemfs.org, and we will request records directly through CCS’s system.
    For homeschooled candidates, please see our guide.
    We may request current year grades as they are available.
  5. REQUEST RECOMMENDATIONS. Send recommendation requests through the candidate portal. Requirements vary by grade.
    • Grades 5–6: Current lead teacher + 1 other teacher, coach, tutor, or extracurricular activity leader.
    • Grades 7–8: Current English/History teacher + current Math teacher.
    • Grades 9–12: Current English/History teacher + current Math teacher + 1 other teacher, coach, tutor, or extracurricular activity leader.
    • Note: We may request an administrator reference for private school applicants.
  6. SCHEDULE A VISIT. Once we have received your completed application and materials, we’ll contact you to schedule a visit day hosted by current TFS students (includes free snack and lunch from our Cafe!). During the visit, students take short math, reading, and writing assessments—these are not tests; they just provide helpful insights.
  7. SCHEDULE A PARENT INTERVIEW. Parents meet for a 1-hour conversation with the appropriate division director. Middle School interviews are typically scheduled for the same day as the Student Visit. Upper School interviews are scheduled for a date after the Student Visit.
The Admissions Team reviews applications when all steps are completed. Additional materials may be requested. 

The Admissions and Financial Aid processes are separate, each requiring their own application and documentation. It is important to apply for Financial Aid concurrently with the Admissions process. To learn more about Financial Aid, please click here.

We look forward to helping your child grow in Tandem. 

There are still limited spaces in select grades for the 2026-2027 year.  We will consider admissions for the current year during the first semester.

Reach out to our Admissions Team at admissions@tandemfs.org for more information and to see if there is space in the particular grade that you are interested in exploring.

The admissions season for the 2027-2028 year begins in September.
