Our commitment

Freedom Center Academy and Hearts of Compassion Ministries Inc. are committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or other assistive technology. We believe access to information about our school and our mission should not depend on ability.

Conformance status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This site has been built to that standard, including:

• Semantic HTML with a logical heading structure on every page;
• A visible "Skip to main content" link on every page;
• Color combinations checked for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for body text;
• Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements;
• Form fields with explicit, programmatically associated labels;
• Text that remains readable and usable when zoomed to 200%;
• Respect for the operating system's "reduce motion" setting;
• Descriptive alternative text, or `aria-hidden` on purely decorative graphics;
• No content that flashes more than three times per second.

Known limitations

We are not aware of any WCAG 2.1 AA failures on this site. If you encounter one, we want to know. Areas we continue to review:

• Documents and PDFs linked from this site may not yet be fully tagged;
• Third-party pages we link to (Stripe checkout, Candid) are outside our control, though both organizations publish their own accessibility commitments.

Assistive technology we test with

• NVDA with Firefox on Windows
• VoiceOver with Safari on macOS and iOS
• Keyboard-only navigation
