From:  "Prof. Levine 
Does not the fact that the Torah makes no mention of Yaakov  learning 
in yeshiva telling? If these years were more important, then I  would 
have expected the Torah to mention Yaakov's learning explicitly. I  am 
sure there is an answer, but I do not know it.

Is  there ANY place in Tenach where  it mentions learning in a  Yeshiva?

Well this is one place that, when I read it,  I understood it to be a yeshiva 
(with a dorm and a kitchen!): Melachim Bais,  4:38-44.  It's the story of the 
bnai hanavi'im who were sitting before  Elisha (i.e., his talmidim) and they 
had nothing to eat, and then one of them  went and got some mushrooms from the 
field and made soup but it turned out the  mushrooms were poisonous so they 
couldn't eat the soup, and then Elisha put some  flour in the soup and 
miraculously made it OK to eat.  And then on the same  page is the story of the man 
who came and brought twenty loaves of bread, which  Elisha told his servant to 
serve to a hundred men, and miraculously it was  enough to feed a hundred men.  
What hundred men could that be?  Must  be the talmidim in his yeshiva.
