There are third party libraries that let you do things like create and manipulate windows in sufficiently generic ways to build on both Mac and Windows, but I suspect they'll be outside of the realm of your course.
What you obviously won't be able to do is develop programs that are intended to use Microsoft's specific Windows libraries, which roughly means anything that performs operations you wouldn't expect a text based operating system to perform. I'm no expert so I don't want to suggest anything. There aren't any IDEs as nice as XCode, but there are several that are usable. There are also versions of GCC for Windows such as MingW32. In any case, the deviations are small and adapting "proper" C++ code takes a very small amount of time. MSVC still didn't have complete C++ compliance last time I used it, but that was some time ago.
GCC & the XCode toolset fully support the standard C and C++ languages.
