Are they trained as both teachers and whatever training is necessary on the religious side of things (Bible study, etc)? Are there separate Catholic colleges or universities that cater specifically to training people to go into this path? How is training for teaching at a Catholic school for K-12 grades different than regular public or secular private schools?

In Ontario (don’t know about the rest of the country) you can be a teacher at a Catholic school WITHOUT a teaching degree. **At least you could be in the 90’s, don’t know about now** When I was a kid I had a friend who attended the Catholic school next to my public school and her aunt was her “science” teacher and the aunt had never been to teacher’s college, had a business degree and was “upstanding” in the church community so got the job. I say “science” because it was basically just creationism with pictures of animals.
