Health & safety is our #1 priority.
While iXperience programs bring together learning and adventure, everything is planned and undertaken with a safety-first 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 standardised contracts that protect iXperience and our students.
Trained iX staff on the ground are available for health and safety assistance 24/7, from the moment students land until they leave.
Our co-working, accommodation and excursion partners are vetted, trusted partners of iX and adhere to international safety best practices.
We provide external, objective support for students who request it, as well as comprehensive protection under US Title IX legislation.
All students are required to have medical travel insurance in order to attend the iX Summer program. Your travel insurance details are required to be uploaded on the iX Student Portal before you depart for your iX Summer experience. Check with your home medical insurance if you are covered for international travel. Cover should include cover for quarantine accommodation as well as any COVID tests. If needed, we recommend getting International Medical Aid through companies such as Worldtrips.
Your international medical insurance should have a guarantee of coverage for medical expenses in cases of COVID-19 for at least USD $50,000. A minimum coverage of USD $2,000 for extended lodging expenses due to quarantine is recommended.
