Who founded a school that taught the Torah?

Answer 1

The answer you're looking for is Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, but it (and the question) is inaccurate. The Torah-academy at Yavneh was already in existence; and what Rabbi ben Zakkai did was to greatly swell its ranks with additional sages.

Answer 2

The answer that you're looking for is "Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai."

However, there are two mistakes in your question, or its perceived answer. One is that Rabbi Johanan did not found the Torah-academy in Yavneh. Rather, it had already existed, and he bolstered it with hundreds of additional disciples (Talmud, Berakhot 28a and Gittin 56b).

The other mistake is the possible implication that only one such school was founded. In fact, thousands of Rabbis, and some women too such as Sarah Schenirer, have founded important Torah academies, throughout the generations. These include Abraham, Moses, Samuel, Hezekiah, Ezra, Hillel, Rashi, and very many more.
