All Flagship students work with an adviser to plan an individualized course of study that meets the requirements of domestic and overseas study. The curriculum is both rigorous and flexible, incorporating high standards for all students within a framework that allows students from any major to meet course requirements and achieve progressively higher proficiency levels. Some of the fundamental elements of the curriculum are as follows: a learner-centered and proficiency-oriented approach to instruction, carefully designed communicative activities that elicit meaningful language production, incorporation of authentic materials beginning in the elementary classes, and extensive use of appropriate educational technology.

The goal of achieving Advanced proficiency (ILR Level 2) prior to the Capstone year positions students to reach professional-level proficiency by the end of the Capstone (ACTFL Superior/ILR Level 3).
