My kids have been having pte teachers for piano for the last 4 years but the teacher is now quitting to focus on her full time job. Any recommendations for good piano schools? My friends were at Yamaha before but their feedback is that it is so so. I am at quite a loss because I have always depended on this teacher but after this experience I was thinking better to rely on schools.

If you want stable teacher for your kids the best way is to get full time private piano teacher. Teacher turnover rate for most music schools is quite high and there is a high likelihood that your kids will change teacher again if you decide to go music school route. But you may still luck out and get a brilliant teacher in a music school. -
Don’'t just look at the piano teacher’s certificate. Some have ABRSM or Trinity or whatsoever but they can’t teach. Some do not have but they are experienced and can teach well. They just cant be bothered to take those exams…So look out for recommendation of good teacher from family or friends is the best way!

Best bet: learn from the owner. -

Like what peanut_butter said, best would be to study with the owner/principal directly, though this may be a little harder because normally they will be more picky.Dreamaurora:

pt teacher means we need to have a piano at home … go to school, we can still continue to use keyboard to practise… is that correct ?
-
No. Think about it, the child only goes to the school once a week, most of the time the child practices at home (or at least should be). So the child should ideally be practising on a proper piano so that he/she can get use to playing on a piano. Keyboard is very different.
