Schroeder was born on April 8, 1800 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, the son of Henry Schroeder, an immigrant from Hamburg, Germany, and his wife, Mary (Schley) of Frederick, Maryland.
A quiet, precocious child, John had developed a special interest in ancient languages by the time he was eleven.
John Frederick graduated with highest honors from the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in 1819, then spent a year studying oriental languages under a Philadelphia clergyman. After attending General Theological Seminary for a short time in 1821, he completed his preparation privately.
John Frederick Schroeder was ordained deacon by Bishop Kemp of Maryland in 1823 and priest a year later. He served as rector of St. Michael's parish, Maryland, for a short time, and then (1823) was called as temporary assistant at Trinity Church, New York. His skill as a preacher won him a large following and he was given a permanent appointment within a year. He seems to have inclined toward the Evangelical party of his Church, and this fact probably lessened his favor with the parish authorities, but he retained his position for fifteen years, part of the time having immediate charge of St. Paul's Chapel.
In 1829 he was rebuked by Bishop John Henry Hobart for his participation in a shortlived Protestant Episcopal Clerical Association which Hobart suspected of Evangelical tendencies, but Schroeder's relations with his Bishop were generally cordial. When Hobart died in 1830, Schroeder pronounced a eulogy upon him (The Great Man in Israel, 1830) and also wrote a sketch of his life, which was published in a Memorial of Bishop Hobart (1831).
He was one of the clergymen who remained at their posts during the cholera epidemics of the early 1830's. In 1838 his wife's health required a visit to Europe, and shortly after his return he became involved in a dispute with the vestry over a question of precedence which led to his resignation in 1839 and, indirectly, to an unsuccessful attempt to separate St. Paul's Chapel from Trinity Parish.
He then moved to Flushing, where he founded a girl's school (St. Ann's Hall), which he continued until his death. In 1846 he moved it to New York, where he became rector of the Church of the Crucifixion, and in 1852 to Brooklyn, where he served as rector of St. Thomas' Church until shortly before his death.
He also delivered a number of public lectures, notably a series before the New York Athenium on oriental literature, one before the New York Horticultural Society, The Intellectual and Moral Resources of Horticulture (1828), and another, A Plea for the Industrious Poor and Strangers in Sickness (1830), at the opening of the New York Dispensary.
In 1849 he published Memoir of the Life and Character of Mrs. Mary Anna Boardman, a rather sentimental biography of his mother-in-law for family distribution. He died in 1857.
John Frederick Schroeder was well-known as the founder of a St. Ann's Hall girl's school. He was a frequent contributor to religious and secular periodicals, edited a collection of Maxims of Washington (1855), and wrote a biography of Washington which was published posthumously. His other famous works: The Intellectual and Moral Resources of Horticulture (1828), The Great Man in Israel, 1830, Memoir of the Life and Character of Mrs. Mary Anna Boardman (1849).

Schroeder's health was remarkably good at almost all times; his cheerfulness was inexhaustible, and his activity unabated. He always lived in a very abstemious manner,
avoiding all habits and indulgences inconsistent with the elevated objects of his
life - to benefit his fellow men while living, and to be the means of blessing them
beyond the grave.
His memory, especially when aided by mnemonics, was extraordinary.
In preaching, his fluency and elegance of diction were so remarkable that even his most intimate friends, often when he was delivering an unpremeditated extempore sermon, would suppose him to be reading a carefully prepared manuscript, with elaborately constructed sentences and harmonious cadences.
On May 22, 1825, Schroeder married Caroline Maria Boardman, a daughter of Senator Elijah Boardman and Mary Anna (Whiting) Boardman. By her he had eight children, four of whom survived him.
