Inspired by the hit movie of the same name, Nickelodeon's School of Rock follows the adventures and misadventures of Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck rocker who poses as a substitute teacher at the prestigious William B. Travis Prep School as he teaches his eccentric, unconventional and overachieving students to play and love rock ‘n’ roll.
With their musical talents combined, Mr. Finn's class of classically-trained musicians form a band complete with headbanging beats and face-melting solos. But if they want to live the rock star life, they'll have to band together, take risks and rock out to reach new heights all whilst keeping the whole thing a secret.
Throughout the school year, these middle-school classmates find themselves navigating relationships, discovering their unknown talents and learning lessons on loyalty and friendships. With Mr. Finn's help, they'll discover that working together isn't just cool, it rocks!
