 Maranacook Advisor/Advisee System
The Advisor/Advisee System was developed by the original staff as one of the founding principles of Maranacook Community School. It is a comprehensive support system for students, parents and staff. Each student is assigned to an advisee group by grade level. Efforts are made to make each group as diverse as possible, considering such factors as towns of residence, gender, interests, needs and strengths.

Advisors support the social, emotional, and academic growth of each advisee by building and sustaining relationships with advisees, parents, and community.
