Such things exist. The vast majority of people on the planet attend such. But in the face of an existential threat, the world needs its defenders. Those attend a combat school from a young age and represent a very small fraction of the global population.

And do people really think that in many respects Signal and Beacon aren't normal schools? It couldn't possibly be all combat all the time. They teach normal subjects. Hell, Beacon probably requires a double major in Hunting and an academic subject. There's only so much time one can spend training.
