TESTIMONIALS

"As a mother of four, wife and secondary teacher, I have many demands on my time. I really wanted a graduate program that would allow me to meet all those demands and still be a quality education. Schreiner’s graduate program does just that. It is helping me to be a better teacher and one day soon, a successful administrator. When I first found out that the program was cohort based I wasn’t certain I was going to like it. I can say with utmost honesty that being able to bounce ideas off other educators and fully discuss the processes that are introduced has been a blessing. With the help of the cohort, I not only get my thoughts and ideas clarified but also have the opportunity to see how others are approaching critical topics also have had many opportunities to experience top tier seminars such as the ASCD conference and will be presenting our work at the CSOTTE conference. How many online graduate programs can offer the opportunity to collaborate and present at conferences? Schreiner’s Master of Education program is an exciting opportunity that is helping me broaden my career choices and is an invaluable stepping stone for great things to come.” – Kyla West

“If you are passionate about education and are looking for a high quality Master of Education or Principal Certification program that will prepare you to meet the demands and challenges of teaching in the 21st century, I highly recommend Schreiner University. The online graduate program at Schreiner University offers classes that allows a busy wife, mother, and teacher like me the flexibility to complete schoolwork at home in the evenings at my convenience. My professors are dedicated professionals, committed to providing me with a high quality education. I look forward to the once a month Saturday classes on campus that give me the opportunity to collaborate personally with my professors and my cohort. Schreiner University has exceeded my expectations and has helped me reach my educational goals.” – Patricia Rivera, Fredericksburg Elementary
