My implication is that these schools are artificially made "rare". We live in a golden age of information accessibility, and the knowledge these schools teach is by no means "secret" or "rare". Hell, Matt Damon learned it all from a library in the 90s, and he was an ill-tempered janitor.
As for whether these schools are "precious", well, their students certainly are judging by the number of trigger warnings and emotional support pets.
