Another advantage of an approved school is that it may offer some courses of training with fewer flight hours"
So again, my question is, is above talking about 141 school as "FAA approved school"? or can all(61 and 141) school can and can not be "FAA Approved"?
thanks

Part 141 training courses are submitted by the school to the FAA for approval. The training course is what's "FAA-approved." Part 61 courses adhere to FAA rules, so calling them FAA-approved is redundant.
A school calling itself "FAA approved" is just marketing--probably trying to make themselves sound better than the rest, as if other schools wouldn't be FAA-approved...
