LISAA School of Design - Trains designers and managers in the fields of animation, video games, interior architecture, design, graphic design and fashion.

LISAA School of Design is a Grande Ecole on a human scale. Founded in 1986 by Michel Glize, today LISAA is a reference in the world of applied arts education.

LISAA, A PIONEERING SCHOOL IN THE APPLIED ARTS EDUCATION Having studied architecture, Michel Glize wanted to create a workshop for students preparing for the competitive exams for entry into the Grande Ecole art schools. As such, he found LISAA in 1986, originally offering foundation years and undergraduate courses in interior architecture, design and fashion design. At this time, there were only four schools in Paris offering design courses! At the heart of small workshops on a human scale, in schools in the city centre, students acquire the knowledge and techniques that allow them to integrate the professional world.

Michel Glize, LISAA founder A RAPID DEVELOPMENT LISAA rapidly became a reference in the field. With teaching oriented towards new technology, a stable team of teaching staff and a particular attention paid to the professional insertion of students, the school grew quickly, attracting recognized professionals (with personalities such as Sonia Rykiel participating as judges in viva examinations) and new branches being founded outside of Paris, in Rennes, Nantes, Strasbourg, then Bordeaux in 2016 and Toulouse in 2018.

AN OFFICIAL RECOGNITION Today LISAA is an institution, recognized not only in the professional milieu but also by the French Ministry of Culture. A GREAT SCHOOL OF DESIGN With more than 4000 students, spread over nine different sites, LISAA is one of the biggest French design schools.
