She loves Schiel so much, she is disappointed when school is closed for scheduled breaks and during the recent blackout.”

The classrooms are relatively small and the children and staff seem to really care about each other. Mr Lewis the principal is very involved and easily accesible. Mr Mason the suzuki teacher is awesome! My son loves playing the violin. We are looking forward to next year also.”

“As parents who really want to support public education, but did not want to sacrifice our child's welfare for 'the cause', this arts magnet school has proved a very good option. The arts-enriched approach is particularly impressive and effective, especially for children like ours who are very hands-on learners. Like any school, a lot depends on the teacher, though, and Schiel has its gems and duds.”

“So far, we are very impressed with our daughter's quality of education at Schiel. She loves going to school and she is learning so much for a kindergartener. The arts-enriched curriculum is fantastic.”
