Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: May 25, 2026
Last Updated: May 25, 2026
The School of Future Leaders and Young Entrepreneurs ("So FLYE") is fundamentally committed to ensuring economic, technical, and digital equity for all members of our community. In alignment with our core pillars of Radical Agency and Strategic Execution, we believe that our digital ecosystem must be seamlessly accessible to every student, parent, guardian, faculty member, and community stakeholder, including individuals with disabilities.
We are actively working to conform our website (soflye.org) and our internal digital portal structures to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for individuals with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
1. Core Accessibility Frameworks Implemented
To ensure an elite, uncompromised user experience, our digital platforms prioritize the following structural standards:
-
Screen Reader Compatibility: Layering clear HTML headings, Aria landmarks, and descriptive alternative text (Alt-Text) on all non-text elements so that assistive technologies can accurately interpret our content.
-
Keyboard Navigation: Optimizing Site infrastructure so all menus, buttons, application forms, and dashboard tools can be fully executed using only a keyboard.
-
Contrast and Legibility: Engineering precise color contrast ratios and text-scaling capabilities to assist users with low vision or color blindness.
-
Multimedia Accommodation: Ensuring that video elements produced by the school feature accurate closed captioning or transcripts wherever possible.
2. On-Going Evaluation and Iteration
In accordance with our institutional commitment to Continuous Improvement, So FLYE treats digital accessibility as an active development pipeline rather than a static goal. Our technical team conducts regular manual audits, user experience tests, and automated scanning protocols to identify, isolate, and remediate digital barriers as our site scales and shifts.
3. Assistive Technology Compatibility
Our platform is engineered to be compatible with modern web browsers and the most widely utilized assistive technologies, including:
-
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
-
Screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and Apple VoiceOver.
4. Request for Accommodations & Feedback Channel
Despite our rigorous technical guardrails, some legacy documents, third-party plug-ins, or advanced data orchestration visualizations may occasionally present accessibility friction.
If you encounter any inaccessible element, or if you require an alternative format of any document (such as a PDF application or enrollment policy) to accommodate a disability, please notify us immediately. We will treat your request as a high-priority operational item and work to deliver the necessary resources to you as swiftly as possible.
