About Noon Academy

Noon Academy is a Riyadh-founded ed-tech platform started in 2013 by Mohammed Aldhalaan and Dr. Abdulaziz Alsaeed, built around a specific insight: students often learn better together, with peers, than alone. Rather than one-on-one video tutoring, its core product connects students into live group study sessions guided by a teacher, tied directly to national curricula and exam schedules. It has grown into what's widely described as MENAP's #1 ed-tech platform, part of the Saudi government's Saudi Unicorns Program, and now serves more than 16 million students across eight countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq and Pakistan.
