Taught to the first years, the art of flying is select to the wizarding world and a skill that is assumed as graduates enter their adult life. Hogwarts, accommodating to all types of magical beings and their backgrounds, teaches the basics of flying to it's first years. Whilst no student is allowed to bring their own broom to the school, the school brooms are said to be of lesser quality with students participating in the game of Quidditch encouraged to purchase their own for the games. It is not a compulsory subject to continue after the basics are passed and resources are available on the grounds and on the Quidditch Pitch for those that wish to further study.
