Actually there are quite a few. International School of Islamabad, Karachi American School, Lahore American School, Murree Christian School. I actually went to ISOI for four years after four years in the International School of Beijing (yet another American school), and knew many people who spoke American English (as do I) just because they had been studying there for many years. When the majority of the students are either American or have grown up in international schools, and most teachers are American, it tends to influence the students as well. Believe it or not!

No one?? Where do you come up with this stuff? I've met many Pakistanis who speak with an American accent because they've been studying at an American school or with an English accent because they go to a British school or have been taught British English.
