About Home, Pennsylvania
Home is an unincorporated village located in Rayne Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, United States. The community received its name because its first post office was located in the "home" of postmaster Hugh Cannon in 1834, though people often referred to it by its original name, Kellysburg.

Does the school pay you to attend?
The Rapha School funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.
