Marjorie Schneider Biography:

The Art of Living

Marjorie Schneider has cultivated the highest truth of human excellence in herself and others throughout her life, thanks to which she has developed special abilities to improve people’s lives.

Marjorie Schneider has pursued the higher things in life from her earliest years as a student through her many years as a professional in the arts and education, allowing her to achieve a distinguished career both as a humanitarian and businesswoman in ways that bridge old and new, philanthropy and commerce, self and other.

Wishing primarily to benefit mankind, Schneider received her first higher degree in education – but she did not stop there, recognizing that the arts were mankind’s highest means of expression, she went on to earn advanced qualifications in these fields in everything from antiquarian sciences to horticulture: becoming an internationally recognized expert in those things which make life meaningful and beautiful. But it was not her diplomas but her special dedication to employing such skills and interests for the benefit of others that has allowed her to so greatly enhance the lives of everyone around her – and even for multitudes of people whom she likely will never meet – decade after decade for more than half-a-century, now.

Thanks to her commitment to promoting all that is beautiful in life, Marjorie also engendered a profound love of humanity and the best it can achieve in her own children. As a result, each member of the Schneider family has likewise gone on to create their own remarkable national and international reputation, even forging new global institutions to fulfill these aims along the way. One of the most renowned of these has been The Apogee Foundation, founded by Marjorie and her husband – the revered physician Dr. Bernard Schneider – along with their children: Dr. Susan Schneider and Kenneth Schneider, Esq. Doctor Susan Schneider has followed in both of her illustrious parents’ footsteps by becoming an accomplished fine artist as well as an famous research scientist and medical practitioner. Attorney Kenneth Schneider, on the other hand, has taken the Schneider family in entirely new directions by becoming one of the most accomplished transactional attorneys and negotiators in the world, while also creating a global media firm designed to inspire people everywhere to fulfill their highest potential.

All of these amazing people’s amazing skills and interests would merge together into the formation of Apogee, whose mission has been to discover, develop and celebrate human artistic excellence around the world. In recognition of her inspiration in the formation of this organization, Marjorie Schneider was named one of Apogee’s inaugural directors, and to this day continues to serve as an arts and education advisor to the Foundation. Schneider’s children have now followed in her footsteps in this, as well, with Kenneth Schneider now serving as The Apogee Foundation’s President and Susan Schneider serving as its Corporate Secretary.

Thanks to a lifetime of inspiration, dedication and hard work, Marjorie Schneider is now one of the most knowledgeable and sought-after education, philanthropy, art and design professionals in America. She rattles off the background of each artist of the present day or distant past as easily as the background of each horticultural treasure in her gardens and nurseries – and, yet, it is the accomplishments of others of which Schneider speaks most proudly. Each of her interests and all of her types of work support and further the others, just as each of her treasured relationships and sincere good deeds serves to compound her lifetime of achievements across fields and around the world as an educational philanthropist and as a human being into a life ever-so worth living – and one that can be a model all of us can learn from.
