You can find some information here: http://ejmas.com/kronos/NewHist1940.htm
It contains some historical information on the establishment of kendo and judo instruction to school children. These are sport-based martial arts and not pure combat-oriented martial arts. Post WW2, these arts were sort of marketed as physical education, and not as self-defense.
I don't believe there are any traditional combative/self-defense martial arts taught as part of the curriculum of any school in Japan. If nothing else, that source might provide some other avenues for you to explore.

Note: it is a large document so it might help to search for keywords like: kendo, education, judo, etc.
