"Structure and Interpretation of Computer Languages" (SICP) teaches
Scheme, and the book "has been the basis of MIT's entry-level computer
science subject since 1980."  (I wish I'd read it in 1980.)

The SICP web site lists over 100 universities and colleges that use
the book [1].

The "Schools using Scheme" page shows 106 universities and colleges
using Scheme in introductory courses (and 59 secondary schools).
