About Context

Context is a mission-driven organization at the intersection of travel and education. For 18 years, Context exclusively ran scholar-led tours in over 60 destinations around the globe, led by MA- and Ph.D.-level experts that could go beneath the surface, diving deep into art, history, and culture. In March 2020, in response to the pandemic, we pivoted with resounding success; we empowered our network of scholars to bring their curated content online to customers in lockdown around the globe. Thus was born Context Learning, our digital product line.

Led by an all-star leadership team with venture-capital backing, Context is now rebuilding its traditional on-the-ground tours business while simultaneously scaling its virtual learning business. We believe we are positioned to offer a product that is unlike any other in the market real-life experiences complemented by online education, blended into one comprehensive learning experience.
