Corvids gossip, and can recognize individual humans.
Cephalopods could learn from their elders (assuming not all members of a species reproduce-die at the same time); they just wouldn't be learning from their parents/ancestors.
For a scifi example, see the Yeerks from Anomorphs.
For nonscifi, look for any reasonably intelligent creature living in groups not based on blood-ties that have non-synchronised reproduction. (Eliminating the die-to-reproduce bit many human subcultures might fit: Shakers, monasteries, mentorships, heart-kin, street families...)
