Schreiner University School Description

Schreiner University, a liberal arts institution affiliated by choice and covenant with the Presbyterian Church (USA), is committed to educating students holistically. Primarily undergraduate, the university offers a personalized, integrated education that prepares its students for meaningful work and purposeful lives in a changing global society.

An independent and coeducational university, Schreiner has a colorful history rich with Texas heritage and traditions beginning in 1923. Schreiner was founded in that year when a Hill Country rancher, merchant and former Texas Ranger, Captain Charles Schreiner , asked the Presbyterian Church to help him put bricks, mortar, and people around a dream he had nurtured for many years. He donated land along the Guadalupe River and together they established "facilities for high grade instruction and military training to boys and young men as preparation for college and university work."

Kerrville is nestled deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where the natural beauty and ambience of the hills, trees, and rivers create the ideal atmosphere for education, art, music, fine dining, outdoor recreation, resort lodging, and more.

The "flagship" of the Hill Country, Kerrville boasts a roster of restaurants, hotels, museums, shops, and attractions to keep visitors and residents alike thoroughly entertained.

The Hill Country enjoys pleasant year-round weather with an average annual rainfall of 31.65 inches. July is the warmest month with an average high temperature of 93 degrees. January is the coolest month of the year with an average low temperature of 36 degrees (source Weather.com)
