People usually learn British English here. Textbooks are written with British spelling and most teachers come from the UK (I've had like 20 different English teachers in all my life, only about 5 of them were American).
But yeah I think it mostly depends on the teacher's nationality, even though in the English school I went to from age 9 to 12, only the native British were employed and they worked pretty damn hard on us innocent pupils getting their stupid accent and way of spelling lol I guess I could be taken as proof of their failure

I can easily tell by how a journalist on TV speaks whether they're American or British. In most cases anyway.
