I mentioned a combat school in the heart of Vale for one of my OCs that I'm in the process of making. No names or anything though.

I liken them to high schools, personally. If the city is large enough (which Vale most certainly is) there's going to be multiple high schools covering different areas of the city. Most kids go to the closest one, though some will go to one of their choice rather than one of convenience.

Even if only a select few students get into the Huntsmen Academies, the others would be in a position to apply for the Atlas Military, or perhaps Guard patrols on the Vale walls to deter any Grimm that may come close, or even as mercenary guards for people that are cheaper to hire than full Huntsmen.
