Good luck finding a 1913-15 syllabus; you'll need some academic archeology skills to accomplish that feat, I think. But in the meantime you might want to check out Tolkien and the Great War by John Garth. It's got some good information about Tolkien's activities -- and if I recall correctly, in particular his interest in and study of languages -- at King Edward's School, and later at Oxford.
