From a VH1.com press release issued Thursday (7/14):

"Gene Simmons invades England to teach a bunch of prim and proper boarding school students how to rock in the new VH1 series, 'Gene Simmons' Rock School,' premiering [Aug. 19]. The infamous 'Demon' of KISS faces a monumental task: turning a group of classical music mini-scholars into a killer rock band."
