About Noon Academy:
Noon's mission is to radically change the way people learn, with a primary focus on the Middle East, where the company has its roots and where the need and urgency to improve education are highest.
We have taught over 12 million+ students successfully with our remote learning products. Our next big challenge is to build a network of schools, supported by top teachers and driven by technology and innovation, to positively impact even more lives.
We recently pivoted towards a hybrid model. Hybrid brings digital star teachers directly into school buildings, and amplifies the experience through peer to peer learning and AI. We ran this model for a year with two schools and the results were so overwhelming that we expanded to 18 private and 10 public schools in our second year of operations. The verdict is clear: students don't just tolerate hybrid, they love it.
