Confusions about 虽然 and 即使
作为学生，我们每日坐在教室里学习，但即使这样，“劳动”离我们也并不遥远。

Colloquially, your sentence is ok.  However it's not a good writing.  即使 is usually used when the condition is opposite to the fact.  E. g.  即使他在，我也会这么说。(it implies he is actually not here) If he is truly there, we would say: 虽然他在场，但我还是这么说了。
So your sentence can be improved like this:

作为学生，虽然我们每日坐在教室里学习，但“劳动”离我们并不遥远。

Compare this two sentences:

即使我付出了真心，他也不在乎。// imply I didn't 付出了真心.


虽然我付出了真心，但他也不在乎。// imply I did 付出了真心.

Hope this could help.
