History and Location
In the fall of 1989, Landmark opened its doors to 170 eager students
in grades 7-12, in a warehouse in downtown Fayetteville. Landmark soon
outgrew this facility and in 1991 purchased the current campus, the former
Campbell High School, in Fairburn. Landmark’s Fairburn campus has
grown to over 60 acres. In 2004, Landmark opened a second elementary
school on 18 acres in Peachtree City.
