Families

Create Your Family Account

Verify your email, start your free trial and set up your Family.

Choose Start your free trial in the pricing section of the Cursive course page, then complete signup.

  1. Verify your email with the code or sign-in link. Already signed in? You’ll go straight to your signup details.
  2. Choose monthly or annual billing for one child. Enter their first name. To subscribe again for an existing child, start from that child’s section in Settings → Billing & access.
  3. Review the trial eligibility, recurring charge and any amount due today. Accept the equipment requirements, terms and future charges.
  4. Complete Stripe Checkout using a card, Link or a supported wallet. A saved payment method is required. Eligible trials start after verified payment setup; returning students start paid access after payment succeeds.
  5. Open the dashboard or iPad app to finish profile details, then begin learning. Use the same parent account on iPad.

Add siblings from Children → Add a child in the dashboard through the same Checkout flow. One Family billing account holds your shared payment method. Each child has their own subscription, dates and cancellation controls; each eligible sibling gets their own 14-day trial. A returning student never receives a second trial.

Stripe collects a billing address for tax. Opt in to graduation gifts and save a US shipping address separately in Settings → Family & account. Our team arranges fulfillment after graduation.

A new child’s profile is created only after verified payment setup. An abandoned Checkout creates no profile or trial.
