Our Commitment to Accessibility
The Advanced Mathematics and Science Foundation (“AMS Foundation,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including students, educators, parents, and partners with disabilities.
We believe access to educational opportunities and information should be inclusive and equitable. We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website and digital services.
Accessibility Standards
Our goal is to conform as closely as possible to:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA
Applicable federal and state accessibility laws in the United States
International accessibility best practices, where applicable
We aim to ensure that our website:
Is navigable via keyboard
Provides sufficient color contrast
Supports screen reader compatibility
Includes alternative text for meaningful images
Uses clear and consistent navigation structures
Avoids flashing or visually disruptive content
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We:
Regularly review our website for accessibility improvements
Monitor compatibility with assistive technologies
Update content and design as technology evolves
Work with third-party providers to improve accessibility compliance
Because some content may be provided by third-party platforms (e.g., competition registration systems), full accessibility compliance may depend in part on those providers.
Assistive Technology Compatibility
Our website is designed to work with modern browsers and commonly used assistive technologies, including:
Screen readers
Screen magnification tools
Voice recognition software
Keyboard-only navigation
For the best experience, we recommend using the latest versions of your browser and assistive technology software.
