Student Apartments
in Ikast
We have entered a unique collaboration with Ikast-Brande Gymnasium focused on student housing in Ikast from August 2026.
​
An unexpected but urgent need for student accommodation has arisen for the 2026 intake. Therefore, we are working closely with Ikast-Brande Gymnasium to identify suitable apartments and housing options for international students studying Pre-IB or IB from August 2026.

Add-Ons to the GKX Support Package in Ikast
Moving abroad is a big step. Our Support Package removes the stress of practicalities, allowing the student to focus on their studies from day one.
​
In addition to securing a furnished apartment and insurance, these add-ons are tailored specifically for students living independently. We provide a built-in social life and a reliable "safety net" by connecting students with screened local mentor families and organizing regular community events.
​
At GKX, we provide more than just a place to stay – we provide the community and professional care teenagers need to navigate a new culture safely.
