The English language (particularly the 'Queen's' language) is a very strange entity in that although there are a number 'rules' to the pronunciation of words (just like there are for the spelling of words such as 'I before E but not after C.....).... there are also a number of 'exceptions' to those rules!!!.... (unlike spelling).....
The word SCHEDULE is one of those words - the SCH is pronounded SHHHH - so you would say the word as SHHedyool.....
However another similar looking workd is SCHEME - where the rule is broken! .... because this SCH is pronounced SK (or SC) - so the word would be pronounced as SKEEM (or SCEEM) ....
For Americans both words would be pronounced with the SK(SC) beginning ......
I know there seems to be no ryhme or reason to this !!!! .... it's just a case of memorising !......

The Oxford English Dictionary give two definitions for schedule, 'shed ule' and 'skedule', it is optional. In the printing industry, the first definition is always used.
