The Flagship experience is shaped by an intense curriculum. Students essentially learn two scripts and multiple lexical traditions (Sanskritic, Perso-Arabic, etc.). As such, prospective students may find it helpful to engage in some self-guided study prior to ― or even during ― their Flagship experience. Listed below are a few sources that may help with self-guided study:
