Principal - International Schools

About Noon

We’re on a mission to radically change the way students learn.

We started with a simple idea: access to the best teachers shouldn’t be a luxury, and learning should energize, not drain you.

Today, we’re building the next generation of schools in Saudi Arabia. Integrating technology, AI and learning science with physical learning spaces to drive focus, curiosity, and results.

We believe every student deserves a world-class learning experience. To make that happen, we’re rethinking everything. From technology, to peer learning, to physical spaces that actually drive focus and curiosity.

In 2025 we expanded our Noon track program to 28 schools and are on track to reach 100+ schools across the Kingdom, directly aligned with Vision 2030 and Saudi Arabia's transformation of education.

Since we have a high-growth technology company DNA, we are unlike any other school operator, in terms of innovation, speed, and impact. We believe in solving hard problems, being bold and driving real outcomes.

Our approach is simple. Build high-performing teams. Give them the freedom to think big and execute fast.

Noon Academy is the leading edtech platform in the Middle East, with over 14 million students and teachers using our app to learn, teach, and collaborate. We have recently raised $41 million in Series B funding to expand our reach and impact in the region and beyond. We are on a mission to transform the physical classroom experience by introducing our highly engaging social, group-based learning and AI to make learning fun and improve learning efficacy. Our ultimate goal is to provide access to the best teachers to every student even if that teacher is only available virtually. We believe we can do this if we blend AI, peer-to-peer learning, and a carefully designed physical space.
