iOS development without Xcode?

My high school just added an iOS development class, and my class is the guinea pig for the ciriculum. We just got new Mac Pros for the class, but the issue is that our admins are afraid of the students using Xcode to "hack into the computers," so right now they are refusing to install Xcode on the new machines. My question is this: Is it possible to development and publish iOS apps without having Xcode at all?

I just heard that JetBrain made an IDE for Apple Development. I suppose they could use that but it isn't going to be any more safe for their network then XCode is... Plus it costs more money. But it is an option.
