Partnerships

Bring Elective’s intellectually rich, immersive learning to your members, customers, or community.

Whether you're enhancing existing travel offerings or introducing something entirely new, an Elective partnership lets you offer distinctive, intellectually engaging courses designed for adults who want to learn seriously while traveling. Each program is led by an expert local instructor, follows Elective’s established model balancing structure with free time, and is built to foster serious inquiry and small-group discussion.

  • Alumni associations

  • Bookstores and literary organizations

  • Museums and cultural institutions

  • Lifelong learning programs

  • Professional or industry networks

  • Religious and interfaith communities

  • Social clubs, dinner groups, or salons

Why an Elective Partnership is Right for You

Rather than a touristic itinerary, Elective offers an invitation to learn deeply, travel purposefully, and connect meaningfully with a subject and a place.

  • Each program balances a structured course led by expert faculty with ample time for independent exploration.

  • Cohorts are ultra-small—typically no more than ten students—supporting depth of discussion and strong group cohesion.

  • Especially resonant for organizations whose members share a common curiosity, intellectual culture, or area of focus.

  • Programming encourages meaningful engagement with the local community, inviting participants to approach a destination as active learners—not passive visitors.

  • Accommodations are comfortable, stylish, and centrally located.

  • Participants receive personalized guidance to explore in ways that align with their interests and the course theme.
