Collaborating for a Sustainable, Student-Centered Future

Arcadia Abroad’s Partnership Network brings together mission-aligned, non-profit organizations committed to advancing equitable access to global learning. In an increasingly competitive higher education environment shaped by market forces and private equity, the Partnership Network provides a cooperative alternative—one grounded in shared values, collaboration, and sustainability.

Through this network, partners join a trusted community dedicated to supporting meaningful, student-centered international experiences while maintaining institutional independence and educational integrity.


Why the Partnership Network

The Partnership Network was established to ensure that values-informed, mission-driven organizations can continue to thrive in a rapidly changing education landscape. Rather than consolidating under market pressures, partners collaborate through a framework that promotes innovation, strengthens sustainability, and amplifies collective impact.

Together, we:

  • Expand access to global education through shared outreach and recruitment.

  • Enhance operational sustainability through collaborative systems and resources.

  • Preserve mission alignment while increasing institutional visibility and reach.

  • Create new opportunities for student learning and engagement worldwide.

“Arcadia’s Partnership Network reflects the spirit of higher education consortia—working together, not competing, to ensure the future of meaningful international education.”
