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 a dynamic 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 a low instructorto-student ratio, but it has a unique classroom format. First through fifth grade is one of the only schools in the Orange Catholic 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, The Parish School builds creative and confident leaders. And, it's one of the only elementary 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, participate in monthly hands-on service projects, and provide mentorship through Prayer Partners.

orangetheory Cold Rush Wellness AlphaSwitch Training is a scientifically based, low-impact, one on one training program offered exclusively at Cold Rush Wellness. It utilizes 5 unique training principles for optimal health and fitness. One unique difference between AlphaSwitch and other personal training programs is that AlphaSwitch is almost exclusively a vibration training program. Training with vibration is low-impact, so it is very easy on the joints while very effective in developing fast-twitch muscle needed for optimal balance, coordination, flexibility and strength. Whether you are doing AlphaSwitch for a specific sport or for general health and wellness, the program is fun and easy to do. Brooke is the resident personal trainer with Dr. Scott Young doing the initial analysis and program build-out. (see p. 24)

Orangetheory Fitness is group personal training at its best. It combines heart rate based, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with resistance training for a complete, full-body workout in one hour. The professionally coached and expertly created workout templates take the guess-work out of getting stronger, more fit, and burning more calories. Although the workout changes daily, it is the same throughout each day so that you can take any of the many classes according to your schedule. Orangetheory Fitness has combined known, proven techniques in such a way to get the most out of an hour. Each member has their own heart rate monitor and their efforts are based on the five heart rate zones. It also targets specific amounts of times in each zone to induce EPOC, a biological state in which your body will increase calorie burn for up to 36 hours after the workout. With three convenient locations in San Clemente, Rancho Santa Margarita and Foothill Ranch, you'll be sure to find a location near you, Visit orangetheoryfitness.com or call 949.485.4885 to learn more. (see p. 23)

f45 training F45 Training is a unique workout platform combining Functional Training using a HIIT timing format in a Circuit type environment. The concept was developed in Australia in 2012 and brought to the US in 2014. The class is based on a 45 minute time schedule so you get in and out and every minute is very effective. Some days are resistance-based, others are Cardio or a hybrid of both. Every day, the workout changes so you never do the same one twice. There are over 4,000 exercises and 32 different daily schedules so you will never get bored and neither will your muscles! This workout is perfect for everyone no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Every single exercise can be modified and the reps are up to you. The certified personal trainers are there to assist you and make sure you are doing the exercises safely and within your own ability. Visit F45training.com for more information. (see p. 24)

New for this year are: Jessica’s Plant Power Salad (garbanzo beans, celery, carrots, herbs, and extra virgin olive oil) and Jessica’s Lucky Life Salad (greens, lentils, apples, dried cherries, and Marcona almonds). These and other signature salads can be found in Gelson’s Kitchen. Inspired by California’s bounty, our Gelson’s Kitchen Catering Menu is another way to please your crowd in the New Year.
