About NovaLearn
Our Story
NovaLearn was founded in 2020 in the heart of Toronto, Ontario, with a simple yet profound mission: to democratize education and empower individuals worldwide through accessible and high-quality online learning. Inspired by the vibrant and diverse learning community in Toronto, our founders, Amelia Stone and Ethan Blake, envisioned a platform that could bridge the gap between traditional education and the evolving demands of the modern workforce.
Initially, NovaLearn started as a small platform offering a handful of courses focused on web development and graphic design. However, fueled by the positive feedback and growing demand, we quickly expanded our curriculum to include a wider range of subjects, including data science, digital marketing, and business analytics. We partnered with leading industry experts and educators to create engaging and practical courses that provide learners with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Over the years, NovaLearn has grown into a thriving online learning community, with thousands of students from around the globe. We are proud to have played a role in helping our students achieve their career goals, whether it's landing their dream job, launching their own business, or simply expanding their knowledge and skills. We remain committed to our founding mission of providing accessible and high-quality education to all, and we are excited to continue growing and evolving to meet the needs of our learners.
