Our History

NovaTech Academy was founded in 2015 by Dr. Anya Sharma, a visionary computer scientist with over two decades of experience in the tech industry. Recognizing the growing demand for skilled technology professionals in Silicon Valley, Dr. Sharma envisioned an academy that would provide students with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to excel in their chosen fields. Starting with a small cohort of students and a handful of dedicated instructors, NovaTech Academy quickly gained a reputation for its high-quality education and its commitment to student success.

Over the years, NovaTech Academy has expanded its curriculum to include a wide range of courses in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Web Development, and Data Science. We have also invested in state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced computer labs, dedicated cybersecurity training rooms, and collaborative project spaces. Today, NovaTech Academy is recognized as a leading technology education provider in Palo Alto, with a growing alumni network that spans across the globe.

In 2020, NovaTech Academy launched its online learning platform, expanding its reach to students around the world. This initiative allows us to offer our high-quality courses to individuals who may not be able to attend our on-campus programs. Our online courses are designed to be engaging, interactive, and accessible, providing students with the same level of support and mentorship as our on-campus programs.

As we look to the future, NovaTech Academy remains committed to its mission of empowering future technology leaders. We will continue to update our curriculum to reflect the latest trends and advancements in the tech industry, and we will continue to provide our students with the resources and support they need to succeed. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant tech ecosystem in Palo Alto, and we are excited to see what our students will accomplish in the years to come.
