With Rapunzl...

You don't have to be a financial expert to raise one.

Everyone wants their kids to understand money, but few parents are sure where to begin. That’s where Rapunzl helps. We provide a self-directed learning experience that allows students to learn at their own pace with an award-winning curriculum designed to elevate engagement and increase learning.

  • Quick & Easy To Get Started

    Students are automatically enrolled in a series of courses that increase in difficulty, allowing them to immediately apply their learning through Rapunzl.

  • Integrated Grades & Assessments

    Every quiz, assessment and module is scored automatically and directly through the Rapunzl platform for easy monitoring of learning progress.

  • Designed To Engage Students

    The Rapunzl learning experience has been refined in hundreds of classrooms to ensure that students are captivated by relevant, real-world learning.

  • Help Awaits In A Constant Chat

    Students can interact with Rapunzl's financial-literacy AI tutor which has been trained on our full curriculum to provide instant feedback and clarity.

  • Real-Time Prices Emulate The Real World

    Portfolios track live-priced stocks, ETFs and crypto with virtual cash ensuring that students are fully immersed while learning in a risk-free environment.

  • Trade & Learn Alongside Your Child

    Each paid Rapunzl account comes with a parent account which allows you to also build a portfolio, trade on Rapunzl, and compete with simulated balances.

Start with $10,000
Risk Free

Every Rapunzl student gets a live-market portfolio funded with $10,000 in simulated cash. Students can then buy and sell real company tickers at real prices, seeing the real world impact on their portfolio without risking any money.

Frequent Questions
about Rapunzl

Family plans aren't open yet. The simulator and all 40 curriculum modules are running in more than 500 schools today, and we're just finalizing Rapunzl for Parents
Contact us and we'll email you when it opens. The prices shown on this page are the ones you'll pay.
You don't teach it. Rapunzl is self-directed: students are enrolled in a series of courses that get harder as they go, and the platform scores every quiz and assessment itself.
The curriculum is written for middle and high school students, roughly ages 11 to 18. More than 500 schools run this same platform at those grade levels, so the pacing and the reading level have been tested on that age group. The Spanish version covers all 40 modules, not a subset.
Access to the Rapunzl student platform as it exists today, plus its ordinary updates, for one student profile, for as long as we operate the platform. New modules, tools and mini-games are part of that.
Lifetime licenses are not transferable between families.
No. You add child profiles to the same account, and each one gets its own portfolio, curriculum progress and certifications. Profiles are priced per child and can be added from your account whenever you need one, so you don't have to decide how many you want at checkout.
Yes, within 30 days of purchase, on either plan, for any reason. Email us and we'll process it. You don't need to have finished anything or give us a reason, and the refund is the full amount you paid rather than a prorated share.
It is verified and accredited by several of the world's largest financial institutions, the same institutions that support Rapunzl programming in schools across the country. Most completion certificates carry no outside backing at all.
Students put it on a LinkedIn profile or a college application. Whether a particular admissions office or employer weighs it is their decision, but it holds up when someone checks.
No. There is no brokerage behind the product, so there is no order flow to sell and no interchange to collect, and we don't run third-party ad networks on students.
Student information is never sold, rented or handed to advertisers. Rapunzl was built for classrooms, where student privacy is a legal obligation, and the family product inherited those rules.
The student experience is identical: the same simulator, the same 40 modules, and the same assessments and certifications your student would get in a classroom.
Districts additionally license the teacher-facing infrastructure they need to run Rapunzl as a class, which is not part of the family product and which no family would use. That is the difference between $7,500 a year for a district and $15.95 a month for a family.
Industry-Leading Security

Designed for a Safe Learning Experience

  • No real money, ever

    Every portfolio is simulated. Your child trades live-priced markets with virtual cash, so there is no bank account, card, or brokerage login to connect, and nothing real to lose.

  • Built for FERPA & COPPA

    Rapunzl is the platform 500+ schools already trust with student accounts, so it was designed from day one to meet the privacy standards classrooms and districts require.

  • We never sell student data

    Student information is never sold, rented, or handed to advertisers. There are no third-party ad networks tracking your child inside the app and we do not share student data with anyone.

  • Encrypted and access-controlled

    Accounts are protected in transit and at rest with industry-standard encryption such that only you and your student can see your student's activity.

Relevant Real-World Credentials

A Certification To Prove Learning

When your student completes a Rapunzl course, they earn a certification that can be displayed on a student’s LinkedIn or college application which can help with future job opportunities and career prospects.
