School of Rock

Rock education film

School of Rock is a 2003 comedy film starring Jack Black as a failed rock musician who poses as a substitute teacher and transforms his class into a rock band.

The title has become shorthand for unconventional education that channels passion over protocol: He runs his guitar lessons like School of Rock.

The film spawned a Broadway musical and television series.
