Question

What would the Halacha be regarding Shemirat Eyenayim regarding a movie thats possibly innapropriate in a school that revolves around Jewish values?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

It is forbidden to watch a movie that includes inappropriate content. It does not matter who or what organization might be showing the movie. 

One must not attend such showings.
