Shaping the Next Gen Schools

We’re on a mission to radically change the way students learn. We believe in solving hard problems, and we play to win — we measure progress by revenues, students, and learning gains. Our approach? Build high‑performing teams, giving them the freedom to dream big and execute boldly.

Today, we’re building the next generation of schools in Saudi Arabia. We believe every student deserves world‑class teachers, and to make it happen we’re reimagining everything about education: from cutting‑edge tech to peer learning and physical spaces that spark curiosity.

Office: Full‑time, Riyadh‑based. We’ve got a sweet office near the Boulevard, and we’d love to have you in it.

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 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.
