Non vitae, sed scholae discimus[1]

[1] Epistulae morales ad Lucilium, Seneca

In case anyone is wondering, this translates roughly as "We do not learn for school, but for life." [1]

OP has the phrase backwards, which is either a typo or asserting that learning is being done for the sake of satisfying school requirements rather than for real life.
