Our Commitment

Apex STEM Education is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

This website aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We are in the process of conducting formal accessibility audits and welcome feedback. We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort and we are continually working to improve.

  • Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is available using a keyboard
  • Skip Links: "Skip to main content" link at the top of each page
  • Semantic HTML: Proper heading structure and landmark regions
