Abstract	This is a report on the North Carolina Advancement School's research and program for the Fall, 1968, and Spring, 1969. The School was designed to implement research on the problem of underachievement. The students, sixth- and seventh-grade boys, usually reside at the School. The instructional program includes humanities, reading, mathematics, and art. Individual instruction, team teaching, and other experimental methods were employed. The results show that the students evidenced significant growth on measures of achievement; the sixth-graders did better than those older in this area. This suggests that age is related to ability to respond to the program. Changes in personality variables were also more pronounced for sixth-graders. However, all students tended to change on psychological characteristics in a positive direction. Further research is urged. For related reports, see UD 011 076-079 and 011 081. (Author/JW)
