When I was in college (some 20 years ago almost), they had a freshman course that more or less covered this and was required. Less science and more "life skills", it still had a lot on study discipline and covered many of the concepts in this course. I imagine many American universities do the same.

I never had this class in college (average state university). Would have appreciated it if I had.

As a freshman it seemed like the lamest thing ever. It wasn't particularly well executed, but if I had been more mature and less of an ass I think I'd haven gotten something out of it. Alas, it was wasted on me.

My wife and I were thinking trying to teach that in HS would be written off more than college.
Honestly, teachers are all professional educators. The basic principals should be taught throughout school--effectively part of it.
