Security Note:
Several reputable international schools have had their website cloned in the past, and candidates have been duped into sending large amounts of money. All candidates are urged to be diligent in investigating potential schools during the recruiting process and prior to signing a contract. Use extreme caution if you have been asked for money or private information.

CIS will never ask or require candidates to send money for application fees, interview fees, visas, plane tickets or other costs associated with recruitment or relocation to Cebu. We will not ask potential teachers for information related to bank accounts or other private financial information. If you have been asked by any international school to send money to cover such costs, you are likely the target of an elaborate scam.
