Default Text Sum

I need code or a formula to return the amount of times text was found in a
range of cells. The problem is the data in the sheet is inconsistent for
example: StayInSchool, SchoolInitiative, SchoolsagainstDropout, etc. I need
to calculate the amount of times "schoo" or school" is shown in the specified
range. I need to be able to use a contains formula or string instead of < or
equal to. Because this data comes from several markets, their naming
convention is not uniform. Another option would be Access (or another
application) if you can provide something I can throw into the Builder in
Access that would help also.
