no scam.
They use to be the same school with 2 campuses.
They have now separated with the “.org.cn” being domestic only campus, and the “.com.cn” being international campus. The international campus has just updated their logo and websites.
Because of the location of the international campus, its official name in Chinese is actually “Kunshan Economic and Technical Development Zone International School”, but that’s just a mouthful in English.

Hi,
I worked at the school for 2.5 months in 2014...which means I resigned before my contract was even over because of working conditions. Apparently there were changes the year I went, and not for the better. I had found other previous teachers blogs about it, and it sounded alright, especially with what Christian had told me.(He's the guy who interviews you for the English section of the school). I don't know if this will be much help at this point, since it's 2016, but be wary of the school....they have serious communication problems and no support was given to any of us foreign teachers....This was not the first time I had dealt with shady employers in Asia, but I did decide it would be the last, and that I was tired of being walked over and not standing up for my basic human rights. If you do need more info about the school and my experience there, you can email me. (ikara_33 @ hotmail.com). Cheers.
Has anyone encountered a "Philip M" from the Kunshan International School?
Recently got an email from him and the end email was "@ksis.com.cn". Went to www.ksis.com.cn to check out school and credentials... But the ad posted had a school logo that was nowhere on the site! It LOOKS like it could very well be a legitimate school but no internet searches of "Kunshan Economic Development and Technological Zone International School" + "scam" yielded any results...
Hmm...
I searched through THIS site and found an earlier post regarding KSIS.. Followed "www.ksis.ORG.cn", and voila! The school logo used in Philip's ad, that was not on ksis.COM.cn, was there! I have no knowledge of Chinese and couldn't navigate this site very well though.
Can anyone tell me if the Kunshan DTZ International School is real and if their a genuinely good school?
Until I hear otherwise I am proceeding with EXTREME caution...
