Try AOPA, even if you aren't a member. 1 800 USA AOPA. Tell them what
you want to do and that you are looking for a list of flight schools.
They may help you out. At least then you'll have a list.

then, when you have a more precise idea of where you'd like to
go, we'll be happy to comment on this or that flight school :-)

note that you might want to focus on flight schools with some
*recent* (as in, post 9/11) experience with training foreign
students; there is additional red tape to go through, and
you can save yourself a lot of trouble by picking the right
school in this regard (another thing to ask AOPA)
