The future school, built by Noon.

​Noon Academy started with a simple idea: learning should feel less lonely and a lot more fun. Today, it’s taught millions of students through live classes, study groups, and social learning on their phones—and now it’s building full schools designed around that same energy.

​In this fireside chat, Noon Academy Co-founder and CEO Mohammed Aldhalaan joins Rowad to talk about how Noon is trying to radically change the way students learn in and out of the classroom. We’ll dive into what happens when you mix great teachers, friends, and technology in one place: classrooms that react when students get stuck, school days shaped by real study patterns, and programs that prepare students for big exams and future skills without burning them out.

​We’ll also hear the honest story: why the app alone wasn’t enough, what surprised the team when they opened Noon Schools in Riyadh, and how they think about bringing this model to more students across the region.

​Whether you’re an entrepreneur, technologist, educator, or builder, this is an invitation to see what “school” can look like when it’s rebuilt around students, powered by technology, and born in MENA.
