Landmark Living History Institute.
A mission-first nonprofit. ZIP code, learning style, and family background should not determine the quality of a child’s education.
Why Landmark exists
Landmark was founded by a homeschool parent and former Fortune 50 executive with deep roots in North Texas and Mid Missouri. We grew out of a recurring gap: families who needed more than enrichment or links to curriculum. They needed real academic support, clarity, and 1:1 guidance that produced academic advantages for students and financial advantages for families.
Landmark Living History Institute was incorporated as a Missouri nonprofit and received IRS 501(c)(3) recognition in February 2026. The 2026–2027 academic year marks Landmark Academy’s formal launch as a structured, credentialed K–12 school.
Three core values
Give every kid one — regardless of where they started.
Tuition designed around what families actually have, including TEFA.
Founder salary $0. All startup costs self-funded. Every dollar accounted for.
Meet the founder
Torrie Levins
Hi, I’m Torrie. I spent 20+ years at Capital One in HR, Operations, People Analytics, and as a Chief of Staff — which means I know what employers actually look for and how to translate it into real-world skills students can build now. Add to that over a decade hands-on homeschooling and several years participating in a PreK–12 co-op with over 40 families. I currently serve on the national leadership team for HS4CC Academy and have built Landmark around what actually works for families navigating accredited K–12 with real-world readiness and college credit on the table.
Every Landmark enrollment begins with a one-on-one conversation with me. Not a form review. Not a waitlist. Just a real talk about your student and what they actually need.
Credentials: Cornell-educated · 20+ yrs Fortune 50 (HR, Operations, People Analytics, Chief of Staff) · PreK–12 co-op participant · HS4CC Academy national leadership team · Background-checked.
