Accessibility Statement

Zenith Academy is committed to providing a website that is accessible to everyone, regardless of technology or ability. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Zenith Academy, we firmly believe that everyone deserves equal access to education and information. We are dedicated to ensuring our website and online learning platform are accessible to people with disabilities. This commitment aligns with our mission to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments.

Our accessibility efforts include:

  • Providing alternative text for all images and non-text content.
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
  • Using clear and consistent navigation.
  • Making our website keyboard accessible.
  • Using semantic HTML to structure content logically.
  • Providing captions and transcripts for multimedia content.
  • Regularly testing our website for accessibility issues using automated tools and manual testing.
  • Training our staff on accessibility best practices.

Zenith Academy is dedicated to maintaining and improving the accessibility of our digital resources. We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the user experience for everyone.

We perform regular accessibility audits using tools like WAVE, axe DevTools, and Google Lighthouse. In addition to automated testing, we conduct manual reviews and engage with assistive technology users to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement. This comprehensive approach ensures that our website not only meets technical standards but also provides a truly inclusive experience.

Our commitment extends beyond the initial development and launch of our website. We have established processes for incorporating accessibility considerations into all future updates and enhancements. This proactive approach helps us maintain a high level of accessibility over time and prevents the introduction of new barriers.

We understand that accessibility is a shared responsibility. We encourage our content creators, developers, and designers to embrace accessibility best practices in their daily work. We provide them with the necessary training, resources, and support to create accessible and inclusive digital experiences.

At Zenith Academy, we are committed to fostering a culture of accessibility and inclusivity. We believe that by creating accessible digital resources, we can empower individuals with disabilities to achieve their full potential and contribute to a more equitable and inclusive society.

Our dedication to accessibility is a reflection of our core values as an educational institution. We believe that learning should be accessible to everyone, and we are committed to making that vision a reality.
