In 1840 Scheibert became director of the newly built Friedrich-Wilhelms-Schule in Stettin, a secondary school , which he was able to run independently according to his plans. He began to realize his idea of ​​a family-like educational community, introduced weekly conferences to bring the teachers into contact with all students and all curriculum, and promoted self-administration of the students through independent student associations. His principle was: "Everything aimed at arousal, excitement, exercise, strengthening of the will up to the free, independent will, first of the school and finally the highest purpose of existence." In 1850 he was a member of the Volkshaus of the Erfurt Union Parliament .

He was awarded the Red Eagle Order (1849) and the Knight's Cross of the House Order of Hohenzollern (1852). In 1855 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Greifswald .

In 1855 he accepted the appointment of a school councilor for the Protestant grammar schools in the province of Silesia and moved with his family to Breslau . His wife died in 1861.

In internal conflict with the decisions of the Ministry of Culture in Berlin, Scheibert submitted his resignation, which was accepted in 1873. He moved to Jannowitz am Riesengebirge, where he lived and worked as a writer for almost 25 years.

Scheibert was a forerunner of the reform pedagogues Kerschensteiner and Gaudig .

His son Justus Scheibert (* 1831, † 1903) became a well-known military writer.
