What is a yearbook ?

The yearbook, also called a leaver’s book, is a recap of the biggest events from the academic year. Students’ best memories are captured forever in text and images, telling the story of a whole year through its pages.

Yearbooks are a long-standing tradition in schools across Anglo-Saxon countries like the USA, the UK, and Australia. In recent years, more and more European schools and colleges have adopted it as their own new tradition.

 

What Does a Yearbook Include?

Every yearbook is unique, but it usually includes:

 

  • student portraits and personal profile pages;
  • class photos and teacher pages;
  • school trips, events and activities;
  • quotes, anecdotes and memories from the graduating class;
  • sports, arts and extracurricular activities;
  • highlights such as prom, graduation and end-of-year celebrations.

 

The content, number of pages and visual style can be fully personalized. A yearbook can be created by a student committee, with support from teachers or with guidance from our team.

An educational project that brings everyone together

Usually, a student class, group, or committee takes charge of creating the yearbook, often with support from teachers if it’s a school initiative. With its expertise, Yearbook Memories guides students from the very start of the project all the way to printing and delivery.

 

Creating a yearbook is a fun experience because it brings students together around a common goal. It’s all about teamwork, good organization, funny moments, and — above all — a lot of creativity!
