In 1852, the pioneer town of Mount Carroll, Illinois, without a government funded school, fused the Mount Carroll Seminary with no area, no instructors and no money.a The town influenced Frances Wood and Cindarella Gregory, two teachers from Ballston Spa, New York, to come and educate. On May 11, 1853, the new theological school opened in a nearby church with eleven understudies. 

Not able to raise adequate supports locally, the theological school's originators obtained cash to develop a working in 1854. They were disheartened by the school's accounts and sold it to Wood and Gregory, who acquired cash for the buy. In 1857 Wood wedded Henry Shimer, an artisan who was a loan boss of the theological school. In 1864, the stuffed school started tolerating female understudies as it were. 

To guarantee the theological college's long haul survival, in 1896 Frances Shimer achieved a concurrence with the University of Chicago in which the school turned into the Frances Shimer Academy of the University of Chicago and was approximately associated with the Baptist Church.b She resigned to Florida, staying away forever to the school, and kicked the bucket in 1901. College of Chicago president William Rainey Harper was the first to champion junior universities in the United States, and in 1907 Shimer got to be one of the principal schools to offer a lesser school program. The two-year junior-school program, working with the first preliminary project, was certify in 1920.

The school had an abrupt decrease in enlistment and budgetary soundness amid and after the Great Depression, weathering the tempest under five progressive presidents. Its survival was expected to some degree to the rearrangement of the six-year preliminary system into a four-year junior school program and to some extent to soak pay diminishments. In 1943, Shimer president Albin C. Brother welcomed the Department of Education at the University of Chicago to assess the school group; its 77 proposals turned into the premise for Shimer's change from a traditionalist completing school to a nontraditional, co-instructive four-year school.

The college association disintegrated in 1958 after the last's choice to surrender the considerable books arrangement, and Shimer barely maintained a strategic distance from chapter 11 in 1957. The colossal books program at Shimer proceeded, and the school delighted in national acknowledgment and a fast development in enlistment amid the 1960s. In 1963, a Harvard Educational Review article recorded Shimer as one of 11 schools with a "perfect scholarly atmosphere". As per a 1966 article in the instruction diary Phi Delta Kappan, Shimer "present great factual confirmation that their understudies are better arranged for graduate work in expressions of the human experience and sciences and in the callings than the individuals who have spent significant time specifically zones".

In the meantime, keeping in mind the end goal to hold high scholastic principles and contact with the "outskirts of information", the College's instructional method underlined perusing firsts (some of the time in spite of the fact that not perpetually, characterized as Great Books).e
