Transform Your Existing DOORS From Ordinary to

Extraordinary!

{ AFTER }

People are inherently good. As I was driving my daughter to tumbling class the other day, my car suddenly failed as I passed through a busy intersection during rush hour traffic. I hadn't planned on a leg work-out that evening, but I certainly felt the burn in my quads and hamstrings as I committed to pushing my 3-ton vehicle, with petrified daughter inside, out of harm’s way. In the midst of inching my SUV toward the relative safety of a narrow berm, I was relieved to see a young man park his car across the street and dash over to provide much needed manpower. Over the years, I’ve stopped to help a few strangers with stalled vehicles, but it was beyond heartening to have had the favor returned. If you’re looking for a more traditional workout that’ll help you shift gears toward a healthy lifestyle in the new year, then check out our 2019 Fitness Guide on page 22. Our first cover of 2019 features San Clemente Christian School, which recently relocated to a new, permanent home in Talega. The school continues to deliver on its mission of providing a boutique school concept through small class sizes and an ability to serve the diverse needs of its students in a strong academic, social and spiritual learning environment. Learn about a variety of schools and academies throughout South Orange County in our annual Educational Spotlight section.

They are taught to love, support, and respect each other by a highly educated and qualified staff who are determined to challenge our students beyond their perceived potential.”

Same heart, new location! San Clemente Christian School is now nestled in the heart of Talega, in the city of San Clemente—striving everyday to support the mission, vision, and heart of the school. SCCS serves students in Transitional Kindergarten through upper school and has recently introduced a new flexible education model option for the 2019-20 school year. San Clemente Christian School’s philosophy brings the “boutique school” concept to life. Classes are intentionally designed to allow teachers to honor each child’s individual strengths and needs, offering only one class of students per grade level (20 maximum). The ability to adapt to the diverse needs of the student population is paramount to the leadership of SCCS as it strives to provide an environment that encourages academic excellence, physical and emotional confidence and spiritual maturity—all through research based instructional strategies. Dr. Magnuson, Head of Schools shares, “We are a family that truly values every student for who God created them to be.

The school’s academic approach is threefold in nature—utilizing a cross curricular model through STEAM learning, emphasizing projects and creativity, and developing a servant’s heart through community outreach opportunities. Principal Rebecca Romo says, “In today’s world, it is essential to encourage students to innovate, problem solve, take calculated risks, experience learning in a hands-on way, and work collaboratively. With this collection of skills, students become directors and advocates of their own learning process.” The school actively uses a universal design for learning, presenting content in various forms and allowing students numerous opportunities to engage with the material and demonstrate their knowledge. In addition, SCCS is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). San Clemente Christian School provides diverse enrichment opportunities including art, music, ukulele, surf club, Spanish, physical education, and student and family mission trips. Dr. Magnuson emphasizes, “Providing opportunities for students to learn beyond the walls of the classrooms is essential. That is where lasting, authentic growth takes place that in turn benefits the learning process.” Students from all grade levels are introduced to field trips, labs, and hands-on experiences beginning in Transitional Kindergarten. SCCS is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge curriculum in every class

which ultimately enhance each student’s unique learning process. The staff is excited about the growth and development of their Hybrid Educational/Homeschool Program, offering a positive, adaptable, and unique alternative to other options in the community. The overriding goal of this program is to provide parents with educational choices to suit their family’s unique needs. Programs range from three days on campus with lab and support options, to a modified school week allowing for flexibility in attendance. Principal Rebecca Romo shares, “In a time when parents are seeking to be more active in their child’s education, or are seeking a more flexible approach to learning, we are so pleased to offer this alternative while still ensuring that students receive a top-notch education, develop his or her giftings, and ultimately thrive.” SCCS has a “goal to provide life-changing experiences that ultimately inspire students to become great leaders and critical thinkers while seeking positive change in their environment.” Leadership instruction begins in Transitional Kindergarten and is based upon four cornerstone ideas which comprise the school’s model called P.A.C.E.—Prepare for the future, Acquire a servant’s heart, Connect to communities, organizations and global issues, Energize youth to make lasting change. Dr. Magnuson offers, “We are truly focused on the whole child. We are a community who believes not only in developing every student’s academic strengths, but also pouring into their emotional and spiritual maturity.”

THE PARISH SCHOOL

ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH AN EVOLVING SCHOOLWIDE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT Always learning, The Parish School graduates are confident and compassionate young men and women who will make a difference. Faithful to Catholic values, The Parish School at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church sustains an evolving schoolwide learning environment that inspires each learner to achieve his or her Godgiven potential inside and outside the classroom. ALWAYS LEARNING The Parish School is #AlwaysLearning. Learners don’t just memorize math equations or recite spelling words. They ask questions. They explore. They love not just school – but the process of learning. And learning comes not just through doing things right, but through doing things wrong. The Parish School develops resilient, innovative learners who try, grow and achieve. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The Parish School utilizes a standard-based curriculum aligned to the Roman Catholic Church

teachings which prepares learners for high school and beyond. The faculty and staff continually expose learners to meaningful hands-on experiences, resulting in thoughtful risk-taking, problem solving and collaboration. SMALLER CLASSES - IN-DEPTH LEARNING Not only does the school boast an impressive 11:1 instructor-to-student ratio, they have a unique classroom format. The Lower School is the first in the Diocese to use Departmentalized Platooning. Each class moves as a unit between three classrooms, with a teacher focused on just two subjects. The result – a richer learning experience and expert teachers. In the Upper School, each learner has eight periods daily on a waterfall schedule, the standard for many high schools. The classes are integrated, yet small groups and individualized instruction ensures learners’ needs are met and challenged.

CREATIVITY Through art and music classes and after-school activities like chorus and the Spring Musical, The Parish School builds creative and confident leaders. And, they are one of the only schools to offer Makerspace – a hands-on studio that integrates technology, engineering and creativity with project-based solutions to real-world situations FAITH DEVELOPMENT Each day, the school community prays, serves and grows in their relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is present in the books they read, the history they teach, and the music they sing. Learners attend weekly mass, provide mentorship through Prayer Partners and participate in monthly hands-on service projects and retreats.

MARINA VIEW PRESCHOOL DEVELOPING A LIFELONG LOVE OF LEARNING Studies have shown that children attending preschool generally do significantly better academically, developmentally and socially in the long-term compared to children who do not enroll in a preschool. However, the simple fact of attending preschool does not guarantee any immediate or life-long benefits. The quality of a preschool is the critical factor.

Developing a Lifelong Love of Learning NO Registration Fees For New Students!

Marina View Preschool in Laguna Niguel was established over 16 years ago and in December 2012 had a change of ownership due to the previous owner’s retirement. The school is now owned and directed by Reshma Morey, a mother of two young boys and an educator with over 17 years of teaching experience. The school cares for children ages 12 months to six years and provides a healthy balance of academics and a developmental program. The school offers an Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Junior K and K program. The school’s philosophy is to offer a strong, child-centered learning environment that educates the whole child: intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Marina View’s vision is to create a love of learning in children that lasts a lifetime. Since taking over the school, Mrs. Morey has made a number of improvements including developing a rigorous academic curriculum that exceeds the California Core Standards in the Junior K and K classes and includes formal Spanish instruction in all Pre-K classes. Mrs. Morey has also embarked on creating a sense of community amongst the parents by having more events at the school such as the annual “Fun Run,” Open House, Halloween Parade, Winter Holiday Recital, Father’s Day and Mother’s Day celebrations, Kindergarten Science Fair, and “Masters of Art” Show. There are a number of additional events scheduled for 2019!

FUTURES ACADEMY

LAGUNA HILLS/MISSION VIEJO DISCOVER A BETTER WAY TO LEARN WITH ONE-TO-ONE INSTRUCTION Futures Academy, formerly Halstrom Academy, is an accredited private school offering premium personalized learning for grades 6-12. Its course listing includes 170 core courses, 27 Honors, 18 AP and over 70 twenty-first century electives. Futures Academy specializes in an innovative and student-centric education model focused on 1:1 instruction. The school’s unique one student, one teacher approach is the core principal behind its academic success. Futures fosters a bully-free environment where customized learning and a content mastery philosophy allow for each student to progress at their own pace. Because students meet with their teachers one-on-one, there is no room for distractions, hiding in the back of class, or feeling inferior to other students in the class-

room. Instruction at Futures Academy creates a pathway to success for many students who can benefit from customized teaching and flexible scheduling. When not in class, students have opportunities to socialize together through clubs and activities. Every day, Futures Academy provides a powerful alternative for parents whose children may not be living up to their full potential in a traditional school. Futures Academy has four campus locations in Orange County with year-round, open enrollment for full-time or part-time schedules. Futures Academy is WASC Accredited and UC, CSU & NCAA Approved.

Futures students come from various backgrounds. Some struggle with academia, learning challenges or social anxiety while others are athletes and actors who find the flexible scheduling options beneficial. Regardless of where students come from, they all value the 1:1 instruction that is not found in the traditional classroom.

THE JOHNSON ACADEMY SPECIALIZING IN EVIDENCE-BASED READING AND MATH INTERVENTIONS Did you know that one out of every five children struggle in reading? Children who receive intervention before 3rd grade have a 90% chance of increasing their reading skills to meet their intellectual abilities. Due to the high demands of literacy, reading is more important than ever! The Johnson Academy and Speech, Language & Learning Center (SLLC), located in San Juan Capistrano, offers evidence-based reading and math intervention programs to improve phonemic awareness, comprehension, vocabulary knowledge and cognitive abilities. About The Founder Cathy Johnson became a licensed Speech/ Language Pathologist in 1991 after completing a B.A. and M.A. in Communication Disorders, with a minor in Child Development. She initially focused on treating young children with speech and language disorders but broadened her scope of practice when those same young children returned to her for help in reading. Additionally, Cathy’s own daughter was diagnosed

with dyslexia and her mission to help children became her passion. The Johnson Academy and SLLC, offer a variety of programs to help children with reading and learning differences. The individualized approach in teaching allows the school to adapt to the unique learning style of each child. There are one-on-one reading therapy sessions available before and after school at SLLC for children attending traditional school. The Johnson Academy services families who are looking for an allday school experience. With the low teacher to student ratio, the children are able to excel in a hands-on learning environment. Programs The Speech, Language & Learning Center offers a comprehensive assessment battery consisting of diagnostic tests designed to identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses. After the assessment, a consultation is scheduled to explain the results and discuss an individualized

intervention tailored to specifically address areas of concern. Lindamood-Bell® Programs • Seeing Stars® for Reading Fluency and Spelling There are many reasons why a child has difficulties in reading. There may be a break down in their ability to segment words into their smallest visual or auditory components. There may be issues in visual or auditory memory which may lead to difficulty in remembering the spelling patterns of words. Children with dyslexia may also experience problems acquiring the large sight-word base necessary for fluency reading. If your child struggles with keeping up in school, please contact us to find out more information! Call 949.487.5251 or visit scheduling@ocsllcinc.com.

BY DINA SCAGLIONE

With a name like Scaglione, you might think I’d be a snob when it comes to Italian fare. For those of you who also grew up with Pasta Sundays and the aroma of sauce (or gravy as some of you may know it) simmering on the stove, Italian Cravings is a must-visit dining destination. The warm and inviting, yet unassuming, eatery is located just off Avenida Del Mar in downtown San Clemente. Serving up pizzas, pasta and sandwiches, even the most discerning “paisans” will feel right at home. There’s an old saying amongst Italian cooks, “There is no such thing as too much garlic.” This adage rings true when it comes to Italian Cravings’ delectable Bruschetta Alla Abruzzo. Toasted slices of garlic bread are accompanied by fresh chopped tomatoes, mozzarella, lotsa garlic, basil and, of course, EVOO. For a savory dish with a bit of a kick, try the Sautéed Shrimp Cajun appetizer, served with a flavorful, zesty sauce.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Winter Special 4-Course Dinner for Two Only $60.00

For pasta dishes, I’d recommend Tony’s Special. This house favorite is a hearty penne pasta served with fresh shrimp, asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes in a creamy alfredo sauce. Another dish that won't disappoint is the Cravings MaMa Mia — mostaccioli pasta with grilled chicken, artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes served with a delicious creamy marinara sauce. The restaurant’s priced-right “Dinner for Two” special includes: two glasses of beer or wine, two entrées, and two salads or soups for a mere $35. Other weekly specials include Monday evening Spaghetti and Meatballs for only $7.95 and Tortellini Tuesday for only $8.95. On Wednesdays, come in and enjoy $10 bottles of wine or half-off house wine.

HOLIDAY SPECIAL Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Located in the heart of San Clemente, Italian Cravings offers outdoor covered seating, on a pet-friendly patio. Lunch specials are served Monday through Friday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include your choice of one entrée plus a fresh salad or soup for just $9.95.

3-Courses for $35.95

Open 7-days-a-week for lunch and dinner, from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., the aptly named Italian Cravings is sure to satiate both fellow paisans and comfort food aficionados alike.
