When the American College of Greece was founded in 1875 in Smyrna, Asia Minor, it was initially an all-girls secondary school. In 1885, it however became an institution of higher education,{{citation needed|date=March 2015}} the predecessor of today's Deree College.

The College was shut down in 1922 during the massive flight of Greeks from Asia Minor following the Asia Minor Disaster in the aftermath of World War I. In 1923, Greek Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos invited the College to reopen in Athens. It did so that same year and survived the World War II Nazi occupation of the country.

In the 1970s the undergraduate division of The American College of Greece was renamed Deree College, in honor of William Deree, a wealthy Greek American philanthropist from Chicago.
