Cape Town

City highlights.

Adventure, everywhere.

Cape Town has it all: mountains, beaches, urban jungle and more. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it.

Rich history and culture.

South Africa’s oldest city has had a turbulent past, which has created a flourishingly diverse present.

Thriving start-up hub.

The Cape lifestyle has it all for entrepreneurs, who flock here from around the world to bring their ideas to life.

Very affordable.

Favorable exchange rates to the dollar mean South Africa is much cheaper than many other destinations.

Accommodation & co-working space.

Your home for iX Summer Abroad is in the heart of the city's trendiest areas, where you'll have incredible views, plush rooms and the best that the city has to offer on your doorstep.

Neighbourgood Hill.

Neighbourgood Hill is located in the vibrant Green Point area, which is known for its trendy cafés, restaurants and bars. The accommodation is newly built, meaning ultra modern living spaces, including a swimming pool, fully equipped self-catering kitchens and 24-hour security. It is walking distance to Cape Town Stadium, Green Point Park and various beaches.

Neighbourgood Cape Quarter.

The iX classroom space is in Neighbourgood Cape Quarter, a premium coworking space a short walk from the student accommodation. From the third floor space, views over Cape Town accompany every class, and several of Cape Town’s best cafés and eateries are just downstairs. The hybrid working life is at its best here!

Health & Safety is our #1 priority.

Our approach.

Our global operations team takes a data-driven approach to measure every aspect of our service, from accommodation incidents to health and safety responses. We thoroughly vet every housing and excursion provider we partner with to ensure compliance with international study abroad safety, and quality standards. Our in-house legal team creates standardized contracts that protect iXperience and our students. All iX campuses are COVID compliant.

Parents who visited iX Abroad.

Each year, we welcome dozens of parents who visit their children in Cape Town and Lisbon. In this video, we caught up with a parent who visited iX Abroad, and asked what their experience was like in Cape Town.

More Cape Town experiences.

Climbing Lion's Head.

We had an unbelievable hike with the Cape Town students this morning to the top of Lion's head. It’s so inspiring to see how much the group is gaining from the experience so far, and we’re only at the beginning.
