Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

Because we serve bright, neurodivergent (twice-exceptional) students, accessibility isn’t an afterthought for us, it’s the point. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, so that families, students, and staff of all abilities can use this site comfortably.

What we’ve built in

• Keyboard friendly, every link, button, and menu can be reached and operated without a mouse, with a visible focus outline and a “skip to main content” link.
• Readable by design, clear type, generous spacing, and color combinations checked for sufficient contrast.
• Calm motion, animations are gentle and never loop; if your device requests reduced motion, we turn them off.
• Descriptive images, meaningful photos include alternative text for screen readers.
• Flexible layout, the site reflows for phones, tablets, and desktops and remains usable when text is enlarged or the page is zoomed.
• Works without scripts, if JavaScript is unavailable, a plain message with our phone number and address still appears.

Ongoing effort

Accessibility is never “finished.” We review the site regularly and fix issues as we find them. A few embedded third-party tools, such as maps, the admissions portal, and the parent portal, are outside our direct control, and their accessibility may vary.
