The seminary was founded in 1876 with the purpose of preparing ministers for the [[Christian Reformed Church in North America|Christian Reformed Church]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Calvin Theological Seminary – Christian Reformed Church |url=http://www.crcna.org/pages/calvin_seminary.cfm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207130838/http://www.crcna.org/pages/calvin_seminary.cfm |archive-date=2012-02-07 |access-date=2007-10-06}}</ref> Originally it met on Spring Street in Grand Rapids, but in 1892 it was moved to Madison Avenue and Franklin Street. In 1917 it moved to the Franklin Street location. It began holding classes on the Knollcrest Campus, its current location, in 1960.

In 1894, the seminary began to offer eight literary courses for the preparation for seminary studies. In 1900 these courses were expanded and made open to non-seminary students. The school enrolled its first four female students in 1901. In 1908, the school expanded to include a full four years of high school education and two years of college, and in 1914 this was expanded to three years. In 1919 and 1920 respectively, a college president and a fourth year of college education were added, which led to the formation of [[Calvin College]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.calvinseminary.edu/aboutUs/history.php |title=History<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2007-10-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071025094923/http://www.calvinseminary.edu/aboutUs/history.php |archive-date=2007-10-25 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
