Here's a directory (see link below). Talk with them about cost and options. Part 61 vs Part 141. Part 61 schools are approved by the FAA but they also have minimum time requirements. Part 141 has no time requirements but the issue may be moot depending on your skill level. Look at the number of aircraft available for rental. You don't want a school with too few aircraft or you will be grounded everytime there is maintenance or another student. shop around and consider the instructors, are they flexible to your hours available. and of course aircraft. Ask for a demo flight. They are very cheap and you can get a sense for the instructor and the aircraft. Have fun!
