{{FancyQuoteBlock| In the first class (Sept 2), everyone got acquainted with getting a broom up, and some close-to-the-ground flying. In the second class (Sept 9) we continued to practice close-to-the-ground flying, this time doing much more turning and stopping. | Review}} | |||

Flying is a Seminar type class, given to first year students twice per year. It teaches basic broom-handling skills, and a passing grade is required to use a broom on the school grounds. It is strictly pass/fail, and those who fail the first time can retake it in a remedial form in the spring.
It's possible to fail flying for several years in a row, and opt to take the remedial courses. Students who fail the course are not required to pass, but cannot use the brooms or join a house team until they do.

Classroom
Flying takes place outdoors in the fall and against in the spring, usually in one of the larger courtyards. Students are lined up with a school broom at their side and asked to perform basic broom skills.
