Program found effective at an arts academy in a large urban high school with a high percentage of at-risk students. Due to the uniqueness of the program no control data was collected. Analysis of ADIs revealed that students coded as beginner viewers, a finding consistent with previous research in the United States and Eastern Europe. Comparison of pre and post-study interviews showed a statistically significant change in student aesthetic stage over the course of the three month implementation of the program. Comparison also showed a phenomenon, which has been noted at other sites – the students who scored lowest at the beginning of the study showed the most change.
